A carajillo (Spanish: [kaɾa'xiʝo, -ʎo]) is an alcoholic drink made with coffee and either brandy, rum, mezcal or coffee liqueur.[1] The drink is prominent in Spain and Latin America and is typically served in a small glass.
Similar to Irish coffee, Carajillo is common in Colombia and Venezuela where it is made with brandy; Cuba, where it is made with rum; and Mexico where it is made with mezcal or a coffee liqueur, e.g., Kahlúa, Tía María or Licor 43.
Variations may include spices, e.g., cinnamon or fruit such as lemon peel.
