Serendipia

By GRECIA MALDONADO

México
2023

this cocktail is a tribute to the first carajillo since it was created as a serendipity in the same way

Ingredients

  • 60 Ml. Licor 43 Original
  • 30 Ml. Lemon
  • 30 Ml. Aquafaba
  • 2 Drops Grapefruit bitters
  • 15 Ml. Fresh marjoram leaves
  • 5 Ml. Fresh mint leaves
  • 30 Ml. Espresso

Method

Cocktail Preparation
  • Add all the ingredients to the shaker except the espresso
  • Cover the shaker without adding ice and make a dry shake for 15 seconds
  • Open the shaker again, add ice
  • Cover the shaker and make a hard shake for 15 seconds
  • Uncover the shaker and pour into an old fashion glass with big ice cube and double straining
  • Add the espresso slowly with the help of a bar spoon
  • Decorate with a marjoram flower
Coffee Preparation
  • Grind and weigh your coffee
  • Transfer the filled portafilter to a counter or flat surface. Gently distribute the grounds evenly with a finger, then use a tamper to tamp down the grounds to create a compact disk of espresso in the portafilter.
  • Purge the machine by running it briefly without a portafilter in place to clear the ground head. Then, lock the portafilter into the machine, position your demitasse glass (a 2 to 3ounce glass meant to hold espresso) or other vessel underneath, and start your shot.
  • The espresso should be ready after 25 to 30 seconds, but it will take practice with your specific machine and lots of taste tests to find your preference..
