Description

This smore's carajillo is a riff on the Mexican cocktail that combines Licor 43 and espresso. This version ups the ante and adds mezcal, chocolate bitters, and cinnamon bitters for a smokier and spicier twist on the classic. I also highly encourage topping the finished cocktail with toasted marshmallows.
