Coffee Until Cocktails, a cocktail series from Midnight Brunch

 The Carajilo combines espresso (surprise surprise) and some classic Liquor 43, creating the classic bold drink. 

Brief History of the Carajillo

Originating in Spain, Carajillo was popular during the colonial era, used as an early morning pick-me-up. Carajillo was Mexico City’s drink to give them coraje, “courage,” and was popular within the middle class. After the early 2000s, the drink’s popularity expanded, and you can now find the Carajillo at almost any bar. While we don’t use this as a morning pick-me-up its a wonderful drink to start your weekend on.
