The Orange Carajillo

A little pick-me-up.

Just sharing a slight variation on a cocktail I had in MX. We drank these almost every night we were there and was just amazed that it only contained two ingredients. Its simple but had a lot of complex flavors so I figured I’d add a bit a little more to it to jazz it up. Here’s my take on a classic Carajillo, cheers y’all.

Voltaire

Clear as cristalino 💎 I created a cocktail for the ever gracious host, as clear and refreshing as Tequila Don Ramón Cristalino Platinium Añejo. I used ingredients such as vanilla and lavender to enhance and complement the subtle notes of nuts and vanilla of this particular Añejo. With a touch of lemon to add a bit more brightness, this well-rounded cocktail truly sets the bar, at home.

If you’re unfamiliar with the cristalino process, allow me to clarify (ha, get it?) - After maturation in oak, a complex filtration process removes the liquid’s amber color and piquancy. This results in a ridiculously smooth taste and long finish calling for easy sipping and/or amazing cocktails.
