The Allure of Licor 43 in Mexican Hot Chocolate

Mexican hot chocolate is an age-old beverage, rich in history, culture, and flavor. Known for its complex combination of cocoa, cinnamon, and often a touch of chili, it’s a drink that warms from the inside out, both with its temperature and its spicy undertones. But, when you introduce Licor 43, a drink already boasting an array of flavors, you transform this traditional drink into an adult indulgence.

The Magic of Licor 43

Originating from Spain, Licor 43 is named for its 43 distinct ingredients, a closely guarded secret but known to be a combination of citrus and fruit juices, herbs, spices, and other elements. While the exact components remain a mystery, the prominent flavors of vanilla, citrus, and aromatic herbs shine through. When combined with the earthy tones of chocolate and the kick of chili, the result is a symphony of flavors that sing together in harmonious delight.

Why the Fusion Works

Mexican hot chocolate’s spicy undertones contrast beautifully with the sweet and aromatic notes of Licor 43. This marriage brings forward an interplay between the warmth of the spices, the depth of the chocolate, and the multifaceted notes of the licor. Not only does it create a rich, flavorful drink, but it also offers an experience, a journey through the tapestry of ingredients that both beverages provide.

Elevate your next cup of Mexican hot chocolate with a splash of Licor 43. It’s more than just a drink; it’s a bridge between the old and the new, between tradition and innovation.  It is delicious!

What Type Of Liquor Is Traditionally Used For A Carajillo?

BY LISA CURRAN MATTE @ tastingtable.com

A centuries-old boozy Spanish coffee drink experienced a renaissance of sorts in the early aughts when millennials in Mexico City embraced it as a preferred after-dinner cocktail. The carajillo, a blend of hot coffee and rum or other hard liquor, originated in Spain, but where and when is shrouded in mystery. 

One theory suggests that 19th-century workers employed to haul goods from one city to another would take quick breaks at roadside bars for a shot of spiked coffee. It’s possible that Spanish owners of Cuban plantations used to serve indentured workers coffee mixed with rum to give them coraje (the Spanish word for courage) to get through their chores. And then, there’s a theory that points to the Andalusian region of Spain where legend has it — locals would begin their mornings with the drink and shout, “Caraj!” the equivalent of “F*** it!” in English.

Whatever its provenance, the carajillo eventually arrived in Mexico along with Spanish settlers, where it morphed from a working-class beverage to the prime choice among the monied elite. But it wasn’t until the introduction of a Spanish liqueur, Licor 43, in the mid-20th century that the carajillo became associated with a specific blend of coffee and liquor.

3 Cocktails to Make with Licor 43, Spain’s Favorite Liqueur

By Carey Jones and John D. McCarthy @ Foodandwine.com

Sometimes, we come across an obscure liqueur little-known outside a single village in France or Italy. But other times, we find ourselves drawn to an ingredient that already has a devoted following. Though little-known in the States, Licor 43 is the most popular liqueur in its native Spain — and also quite prominent in Mexico and other Latin American nations.

Named for the 43 ingredients that go into its production, Licor 43 (that’s cuarenta y tres, if you’re over in Spain) is made with fruits and a wide range of aromatic herbs and spices. It’s light and sweet, with vanilla far and away the strongest flavor, backed up by bright citrus and warm cinnamon. It’s easygoing and quite likable, making it a cinch to deploy in cocktails. Here are three of our favorites.

Easy: 43 Screwdriver
Licor 43’s citrus aspect is so prominent, we thought: This would be great in a Screwdriver. And orange and vanilla are an obvious pairing. This simple drink ends up tasting like a Creamsicle, except a good deal more sophisticated. It’s great for brunch.

Instructions: In a tall glass, combine an ounce of vodka, an ounce of Licor 43, and three ounces of orange juice. Give a quick stir, then add ice. Garnish with three orange half-moons and a cinnamon stick.

Intermediate: 43 & Coffee
In Mexico, a drink called a carajillo is made by spiking espresso with booze — and Licor 43 is a popular choice. We’re taking that combination two steps further by adding tequila and spice. The liqueur’s sweet vanilla aspect balances out spicy jalapeño, while the tequila stiffens it up and the coffee adds a rich bitterness. If your energy’s ever flagging at a cocktail party, this thing will wake you up, no question.

Instructions: In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, muddle (that is: smash up) two thin slices of jalapeño pepper, seeds included (a little less if you’re new to the spicy drink game). Add an ounce of Licor 43, an ounce of blanco tequila, two ounces of cold brew coffee, and half an ounce of simple syrup. Shake all that up hard with ice, and then double strain (through the cocktail’s own strainer and through a fine mesh strainer) into a rocks glass with fresh ice. Garnish with a few jalapeño slices.

Advanced: 43 Flip
With its warm spice and strong vanilla flavor, Licor 43 is an obvious choice for a flip — a rich, substantial cocktail with a whole egg. Think of eggnog, but without the cream, and you’ll have an idea. A good measure of bourbon amplifies the caramel-vanilla notes, and helps make this cocktail dangerously drinkable.

Instructions: In a cocktail shaker without ice, combine two ounces of bourbon, an ounce of Licor 43, a half-ounce of simple syrup, and one whole egg. Shake all that up without ice to aerate it — that’s called a “dry shake” — and then add ice and shake again for a “wet shake,” to chill it down. Strain into a rocks glass, without ice. Garnish with grated nutmeg.
