Pumpkin Butter Carajillo

A cozy, coffee-forward twist on the classic Spanish Carajillo, this Pumpkin Butter Carajillo combines rich espresso, sweet vanilla-citrus notes from Licor 43, and Raven’s Nest Pumpkin Butter for a smooth, creamy, fall-inspired cocktail. Shaken until chilled and finished with a chocolate pumpkin garnish, it’s the perfect after-dinner drink for autumn entertaining.
