Spicy Carajillo

A Spicy Carajillo worthy of the Addams Family. I feel Gomez would love this one, but leave it to Morticia to slip in a dash of chile liqueur to bring up the heat. Let’s just say, if you’re not sipping on Carajillos this Halloween, well… that would be truly strange and unusual.
What is a Carajillo?
A classic Carajillo is just equal parts espresso and Licor 43. The modern Mexican style is made by shaking those two simple ingredients with ice so it gets a little frothy. But you can also enjoy it stirred or hot by skipping the ice and using freshly brewed espresso. I add Chile liqueur to make it spicy or you can add pumpkin syrup for a Pumpkin Spiced Carajillo.

Since the Carajillo has Mexican and Spanish origins, it only feels right to add a little heat to the party along with espresso and Licor 43.
