Kicking off #HispanicHeritageMonth with a series of cocktail recipes inspired by our Hispanic roots. The “Smoked Carajillo” is a twist on the traditional #Carajillo, a Spanish coffee cocktail popular in Latin America that is often enjoyed in the afternoon or post-dinner. It’s the quintessential drink for those who enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
