Depending on your mood, any of the Dos Maderas line will mix well in a Carajillo. The origins of the recipe are varied with many possibilities from brandy, anisette, rum to Licor 43. To minimize the fuss of preparation, a richer rum with darker confectionery notes like brown sugar, maple or chocolate can strike a better balance and possibly eliminate the desire to add sugar.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Dos Maderas 5+5 is a triple cask aged blended rum that spends five years in the Carribean followed by 5 years in Jerez.

Some drinks you enjoy sipping on a beach, some on a Saturday evening at a cocktail bar before a show, or simply as a nightcap. The Carajillo means business. It is more of a morning shot under the foreboding environment of <\/span>soon to immerse oneself in bad news<\/span><\/i> or as a postprandial curative as if to politely apologize in advance to one\u2019s digestive organs. In Catalan etymology, Carajillo stems from the word for courage, <\/span>coraje<\/span><\/i>, and the similar sounding phrase <\/span>que ara guillo<\/span><\/i>, translates to roughly \u201cin a hurry.\u201d In Andaluc\u00eda, the expletive <\/span>carajo<\/span><\/i> is often shouted after partaking one. Writer Michael Snyder documents this well in his <\/span>PUNCH piece<\/span><\/a>. Early origins for the process of taking a bit of liquor, whether sweet, strong or both with one\u2019s espresso are pervasive in much of coffee drinking Europe. Snyder also mentions the documented Cuban practice of sharing the drink with plantation workers to give them that same courage and energy for a hard day of labor. Clearly history has broadly accepted the now trendy practice of the Carajillo ritual in some form. In modern-day Mexico, the drink is synonymous with the sweet Licor 43 and a local working class favorite. The rum variant below is as simple as it is deliciously reviving. Try, if you can, to imagine a more able-elder-inverse-sibling to the Mind Eraser cocktail ritual.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Tip 1: <\/span>Retaining the natural crema of the espresso is not a priority for this cocktail but some prefer the drink shaken up over rocks\/ice instead of layered.
