A carajillo (Spanish: [kaɾa'xiʝo, -ʎo]) is a coffee drink to which a liquor is added.[1] Similar to Irish coffee, it is typical of Spain and several Latin American countries, such as Colombia and Venezuela, where it is usually made with brandy; Cuba, where it is usually made with rum; and in Mexico, where mezcal or a coffee liqueur such as Kahlúa or Tía María may be used. Spices such as cinnamon and fruit such as lemon peel are commonly added to more elaborate versions in Spain. Carajillo is usually served in a small glass.
