This bourbon carajillo is a riff on the Mexican cocktail that combines Licor 43 and espresso. This version ups the ante and adds bourbon and aromatic bitters for a boozier and spicier twist on the classic.

Ingredients

  • 1 shot espresso (1 1/2 ounces) 
  • 1 ounce bourbon
  • 1 ounce Licor 43
  • 1 dash of aromatic bitters
  • 1 orange slice

Instructions

  1. Start by brewing the espresso. 
  2. Then add 1 1/2 ounces of espresso (1 shot), 1 ounce of Licor 43, 1 ounce of bourbon, and 1 dash of aromatic bitters to a cocktail shaker with ice. 
  3. Shake for 30 seconds, then strain into a glass with ice.
  4. Garnish with an orange slice and espresso beans, and enjoy!
