Method

Preparation of Cold Brew Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew Coffee

    Start by brewing your espresso using your preferred coffee beans. Use a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:2 for a strong flavor. Let it cool down to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Chill Espresso

    Once brewed, transfer the espresso to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes.

Mixing the Carajillo

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a glass or cocktail shaker, pour in 2 oz of Licor 43 and 2 oz of chilled cold brew espresso.

  2. 4

    Stir or Shake

    If using a shaker, add ice cubes and shake well for about 10-15 seconds. If not, simply stir the mixture gently in the glass.

  3. 5

    Garnish (Optional)

    Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder, a dollop of whipped cream, or serve over ice, if desired.
