Freezer Door Carajillo Old Fashioned
This one sits right at the intersection of whiskey, Cognac, and coffee. Inspired by the classic Spanish Carajillo, this Old Fashioned–style riff leans warm, rich, and just slightly sweet, making it perfect for batching and keeping on hand in the freezer.
Built with rye for structure, Cognac for roundness, and a split of coffee liqueur and Licor 43 for depth and subtle vanilla, this is the kind of cocktail that works just as well after dinner as it does late at night.
Batch it once, forget about it, and pour when needed.
Cheers, y'all!
