Carajillo is a warm cocktail, and tradition is forgiving with liquor choices, as long as it’s a spirit with dry to slightly sweet taste like rum, cognac, brandy, or anise.


Espresso tends to be the most common coffee drink for making this cocktail, however, you can prepare strong coffee with a Moka pot or an Aeropress if you don’t have an espresso machine.


Besides coffee and liquor, the mix includes a bit of lime’s rind, a cinnamon stick, and sugar. I checked different alternatives for this cocktail, and I am posting the flambeed one, which isn’t only more visually appealing, but it offers a very nice taste and aroma. And it’s particularly nice during the chillier seasons.
