Description
A delightful combination of rich coffee and smooth tequila, this cocktail presents a unique twist on the traditional Carajillo, typically made with coffee liqueur.
History
The Carajillo originally hails from Spain and traditionally features coffee mixed with brandy. The adaptation of tequila, likely influenced by Mexico's love for both coffee and tequila, has made this variation increasingly popular.
