Preparation
Let’s start with the most important part: the coffee. Make a cup of coffee the way you like it best. Use your favorite coffee maker, a French press, or any method you have at hand. The key is that it’s a coffee that makes you smile.
Now, in a heat-resistant cup, add a teaspoon of sugar. Do you like things sweet? Add a bit more sugar. Prefer it less sweet? Then, adjust it to your taste. Remember, you are the master here!
Next up is the brandy, the touch of elegance in our Classic Carajillo. Pour 1 1/2 ounces of brandy into the cup. This liquor will give your cocktail a smooth and aromatic flavor.
Now, prepare your lemon or orange peel. Simply take a piece of the fruit’s peel and squeeze it over the cup. This will add a fresh citrus twist that perfectly balances the flavors.
The next step is to pour the hot coffee over the mixture of sugar, brandy, and lemon or orange peel. You’ll see how the aromas mix and the flavors embrace in a whirlwind of delight.
Give it a gentle stir with a teaspoon to ensure all the ingredients blend perfectly.
And voilà! Your Classic Carajillo is ready to enjoy. The next time you need a touch of sophistication in your day, you’ll know how to indulge yourself.
So, whether as a treat for yourself on a special morning or as an accomplice to evening conversations, this classic will make you feel like a master of mixology.
