Carajillo Cocktail
This Carajillo 43 is a smooth coffee cocktail made with bold espresso and sweet, spiced Licor 43. Easy to shake up in minutes, it’s a frothy, flavorful alternative to the espresso martini and perfect for after-dinner sipping.

Notes
No espresso machine? I prefer pre-made, unsweetened espresso that's available in the refrigerated drink section of the grocery store. You also can use strong brewed coffee, cold brew concentrate or even decaf.
