    We Colombians love our coffee and I find it hard to start the day without a hot cup of black coffee in the morning. Carajillo is a simple coffee-based hot drink originally from Spain, but very popular in Colombia. It is usually made with brandy or rum and served in a small shot cup. Although I don't start my day with this sort of coffee drink 🙂 it is the perfect ending to any meal!

    Buen provecho!

      I haven't had carajillo in a long time but I fondly remember a period where I always ended dinner in a Spanish restaurant with carajillo served with Spanish brandy.

      I think I would feel lost without my coffee in the morning too. I would certainly enjoy a coffee drink like this one in the evening.Yum.
