El Despertador

 

Today we are going to wake up your senses with this great Espresso cocktail.  Carajillo is the name of a Spanish coffee that has been spiked with one spirit or another.  The El Despertador is a Mexican variation of the cocktail made with Mezcal for a smoky twist on the recipe.  The smoky nature of the Mezcal amps up the flavors in the espresso and in turn the espresso brings out the subtleties in the Mezcal.  It is a perfect after dinner drink alongside or in place of dessert and also plays well as an afternoon pick-me-up.    

 

El Despertador

In a shaker glass filled with ice add:

  • 1 ½ Ounces of Joven Mezcal
  • 1 Ounce Chilled Espresso
  • 1 Ounce Simple Syrup (+/- to taste)
  • 1 Dash Angostura Bitters
     

Shake till painfully cold.  Strain into a chilled stemmed cocktail glass.  Lightly dust the top of the drink with a touch of un-sweetened cacao powder.  Garnish with an orange twist.
