The Carajillo is a Spanish-Mexican coffee cocktail that balances the bitter intensity of espresso against the sweet, vanilla-citrus warmth of Licor 43. This version adds mezcal, introducing a subtle smoky undercurrent that deepens the drink's complexity without overwhelming its core character. The result is rich and aromatic, best sipped slowly as the flavors meld over ice.
