The Carajillo Cocktail

A carajillo is a Spanish drink combing coffee, usually with brandy or whiskey.  I recently told you about my new found obsession:  Licor 43 in my post about Little Beers.  Since Licor 43 is a Spanish liqueur flavored with citrus, vanilla and aromatic herbs, adding it to coffee to create this sublime cocktail seems so obvious.  Paired with a cold brew coffee, it makes a fabulous after dinner drink or anytime for coffee lovers.  
Licor 43 (my new favorite) paired
with cold brew espresso.
Try this!
Check out that giant sphere of ice.
The perfect presentation.

THE CARAJILLO COCKTAIL

1-2 shots Licor 43
cold brew espresso coffee
ice

Place a shot or two of the liqueur in a low ball cocktail class with ice (SEE NOTE).  Fill with cold brew espresso and serve.  Enjoy responsibly.

NOTE: This simple cocktail makes a stunning presentation using a large, decorative ice cube.  Not only does is look fancy, it won't melt and dilute your drink.  I used a sphere shaped mold.  Boil the water first for a crystal clear cube.
