Ingredients
- 1 cup of freshly made coffee (choose your favorite, but make sure it’s strong)
- 1 1/2 ounces of mezcal (the rebellious spirit of our Carajillo)
- 1 teaspoon of sugar (adjust according to your sweet preferences)
- Orange or lemon peel (for that citrus touch)
- Ice (optional, for a refreshing touch)
Preparation
Let’s get to the heart of the matter: the coffee. Prepare a cup of coffee the way you like it best. You can use your preferred method, whether it’s a filter coffee maker, a French press, or even an espresso machine. The key is that it’s a strong coffee, with character.
Now, in a heat-resistant cup, add a teaspoon of sugar. Do you like it sweet? Add a bit more sugar. Prefer it less sweet? Then, adjust it to your taste. In this adventure, you’re the commander!
This is where mezcal comes into play. Pour 1 1/2 ounces of mezcal into the cup. This Mexican distillate will give your Carajillo a smoky and earthy flavor that will transport you to distant lands.
Add a thin peel of orange or lemon to give your cocktail a citrusy and fresh touch. Simply rub the peel around the rim of the cup and then gently drop it into the Carajillo.
If you want a refreshing touch, you can add a few ice cubes. This is optional but can be perfect on a hot day or for those who enjoy their drink a bit cooler.
Give it a gentle stir with a teaspoon to mix all the ingredients well and get them better acquainted. This is a flavor journey you don’t want to miss!
And that’s it!
Your Mezcal Carajillo is ready to be enjoyed. Whether as a treat on a sunny afternoon or as an accomplice on a night of mystery, this cocktail will take you on an unforgettable sensory journey.
Cheers and venture forth! ☕🌵🥃
