A carajillo is a unique Spanish coffee drink that combines espresso with a small amount of liquor, such as rum, brandy, or whisky. This results in a bold and warming beverage.
Traditionally enjoyed after meals, carajillo is a popular choice for those who appreciate the combination of coffee’s intensity and the warmth of spirits. It’s typically served in a small cup with the liquor either mixed in or served on the side.
Choosing a carajillo means embracing a drink that is both invigorating and relaxing, perfect for rounding off a meal or enjoying a cozy evening. It’s a staple of Spanish coffee culture with a distinctive twist.
To order it, you would say, “Me puede poner un carajillo, por favor.”
