Ultimate Carajillo Recipe

Ultimate Carajillo Recipe Introduction: Carajillo is a delightful Spanish coffee cocktail that combines espresso with a splash of liqueur, typically brandy or Licor 43. This beverage is popular in Spain and Latin America, where it’s enjoyed as a pick-me-up after a meal or as a warming treat. The combination of robust coffee and sweet liqueur creates a smooth, flavorful drink that’s both comforting and energizing. Ingredients: 1 shot (1 ounce) of espresso (or strong brewed coffee) 1 ounce of Licor 43 or brandy (or other liqueur of your choice) 1 teaspoon of sugar (adjust to taste) 1 cinnamon stick (optional) Ice cubes (optional) Whipped cream (optional, for garnish) Instructions: Prepare the Espresso: Brew a shot of espresso using your espresso machine. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use strong brewed coffee as a substitute. Sweeten the Coffee: While the coffee is still hot, stir in the sugar until completely dissolved. Adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preference.
