Description

This Banana Bread Carajillo is a bold, slightly boozy, espresso cocktail that tastes like your favorite banana bread in liquid form.

 

This twist on the classic carajillo amps things up with Licor 43, banana liqueur, rich reposado tequila, and fresh espresso. It’s all rounded out with a dash of chocolate bitters and a hint of smoked cinnamon bitters, because what’s banana bread without a little spice?
