Method

Carajillo Base

1

Extract espresso

Pull a 1 oz shot of fresh hot espresso (or brew a very strong coffee concentrate). Use freshly brewed for best aroma.

2

In a heatproof mixing glass or small shaker, combine 2 oz Fistful of Dollars liqueur, 1 oz hot espresso, and 0.5 oz pumpkin spice liqueur or 0.5 oz pumpkin spice syrup. Stir gently to marry while still warm (this is the carajillo element).

Collins Build

3

Prepare honey syrup by dissolving equal parts honey and hot water (1:1). Cool slightly. Measure 0.5 oz for the cocktail.

4

Fill a Collins glass (tall) with ice to chill. If you prefer a longer drink, use more ice and a taller glass.

5

Add 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice and 0.5 oz honey syrup to the chilled glass.

6

Pour the warm carajillo base (liqueur + espresso + pumpkin spice) over the lemon and honey in the glass. Stir briskly for 8–10 seconds to combine and slightly cool the espresso.

7

Top with 3 oz cold club soda to lengthen into a Collins. Stir once gently to integrate without losing too much carbonation.

Garnish

8

Express a lemon wheel over the glass to release oils, then drop it in as garnish.

9

Lightly dust the surface with a pinch (about 1/8–1/4 tsp) of ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for aroma. Serve immediately.
