A little pick-me-up.

Just sharing a slight variation on a cocktail I had in MX. We drank these almost every night we were there and was just amazed that it only contained two ingredients. Its simple but had a lot of complex flavors so I figured I’d add a bit a little more to it to jazz it up. Here’s my take on a classic Carajillo, cheers y’all.

ingredients:

• 1½ oz Espresso or Cold Brew Concentrate

• 1½ oz Licor 43

• Grated Nutmeg

• Orange Twist (Zest only)

tools:

• Shaking Tins

• Jigger (Japanese Style)

• Hawthorne Strainer

• Fine Strainer

• Glassware

• Other Tools

• Complete Bartending Set

instructions:

Combine all wet ingredients in a shaking tin with ice. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Pour and strain over rocks glass filled with a large cube of ice. Express orange twist, top with grated nutmeg.
