Method
Preparation
Brew the Espresso
Start by brewing a fresh shot of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Aim for a strong and rich flavor.
Measure the Licor 43
In a separate measuring cup, pour 1 oz of Licor 43. This sweet, vanilla-flavored liqueur will complement the coffee.
Combine Ingredients
In a heatproof glass or cup, carefully pour the freshly brewed espresso over the Licor 43. The heat from the espresso will slightly warm the liqueur.
Add Garnish
Sprinkle a teaspoon of cinnamon powder on top of the drink and add the orange zest for an aromatic finish.
Serve
Serve the Carajillo immediately while hot, allowing the drinker to mix the layers for a delightful coffee experience.
