Let’s start with the basics: the coffee. Prepare a cup of coffee the way you like it best. You can use your preferred method, whether it’s a classic coffee maker, a French press, or even an espresso machine. The key is that it’s a 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. Remember, you are the chef here!
The star of our Valencia Carajillo is the orange liqueur. Pour 1 1/2 ounces of orange liqueur into the cup. This liqueur will give your cocktail a citrusy and aromatic flavor that will make you think of orange fields under the Valencian sun.
Add a thin slice of orange peel to the cup to enhance the citrus aroma. You can also squeeze a few drops of lemon juice to add a touch of acidity and freshness.
Give it a gentle stir with a teaspoon to ensure all the ingredients blend and get acquainted.
And that’s it! Your Valencia Carajillo is ready to be enjoyed. Serve the drink in a pretty cup and delight your senses with every sip.
Whether as a treat for yourself on a sunny morning or as a way to reminisce about your moments on the Mediterranean coast, this cocktail will take you on a sensory journey full of joy.
