📜 History

The Creamy Carajillo evolved as a response to those who found traditional black coffee cocktails too intense. By adding a splash of heavy cream, bartenders created a more approachable, dessert-like drink that bridges the gap between the classic Carajillo and beloved creamy cocktails like the White Russian.
