📜 History

The Spiced Carajillo bridges two beloved Mexican coffee traditions: the classic Carajillo and Café de Olla, the traditional cinnamon-spiced coffee brewed in clay pots. As the Carajillo gained popularity in Mexico City, bartenders naturally began incorporating the warm spices of Café de Olla to create a more aromatic, seasonally appropriate variation.
