Revamping Tradition: Cometa’s Unique Take on the Classic Carajillo

The carajillo, a beloved Mexican beverage, is being reimagined by Tom King, the head bartender at Cometa in London. This twist on the classic features a delightful combination of espresso and Licor 43, further enhanced by the addition of cold-brew coffee liqueur.

Traditionally, the carajillo is enjoyed in various styles throughout Mexico. Some establishments simply serve espresso over ice, topped with a shot of Licor 43, while others prefer to shake the coffee and liqueur together for a straight-up version. However, the essence remains the same: a harmonious blend of coffee and Licor 43.

King's innovative recipe extends the drink's flavors, making it an ideal choice for a sunny afternoon, a sweet dessert drink, or a refreshing nightcap. This modern rendition stays true to its roots while offering a refreshing twist that appeals to both traditionalists and adventurous palates alike.
