2. Mexican Carajillo
Carajillo is a hot coffee drink that is most typical to Spain, but also quite popular for its other variations that are adapted by different countries over the years. In Mexico, Carajillo is brewed by mixing hot espresso with a sweet vanilla- citrus flavoured drink which is then poured on in a short glass and served warm. It is mainly enjoyed as a digestive after meals so complete your meals with a Carajillo.
3. Atole
Atole is a traditional hot corn-based beverage that originated from Mexico. An Atole is blended by combining corn flour with water and unrefined cane sugar which is flavored with a cardamom, vanilla, chocolate and fruits. It is commonly relished during breakfast and dinner time at any time of the year. We suggest you blend your own Atole this winter season.
4. Champurrado
Champurrado is a thick and warm chocolate-based Atole that is prepared in the similar manner as a typical Atole except that it's packed with chocolatey flavours and sometimes enriched with eggs, ground nuts and orange zest which not only makes it extra flavorful but also gives it a healthier twist.
