The Ron Carúpano brand has more than 260 years of history in the production of rum, which began when a Spanish captain fell in love with the shores of Venezuela. That is why the distillery decided to celebrate the magical connection of Spanish-Caribbean roots with the first known Venezuelan drink Carajillo, which is made from a mixture of rum and coffee.
At Carúpano, they decided to reinterpret Carajillo to create together with the Venezuelan Coffee Association Carupanillo. It is a drink that is a perfect combination between distinct aromas of coffee, salty touches of Carúpan and unmistakable spices of the exotic Caribbean.
Drink Carupanillo
The preparation of this rum-coffee drink is slightly difficult, but the enjoyment of the final product is definitely worth it!
First you will need to prepare an "infusion":
■ 500ml of hot water
■ 5 pieces of cardamom seeds
■ 1 piece of guayabita seed
■ 1 piece of star anise
Soak the spices in water for 4 minutes. Then remove the seeds from the water and add granulated sugar. At the end, mix everything and let it stand.
The next thing you will need is a "coffee base" which is very simple. Add 30 grams of any ground coffee to 500ml of hot water and let it stand for 4 minutes.
Now it's up to you whether you choose to prepare hot or cold coffee. Anyway, we will give you both recipes here.
Preparation of cold Carupanillo:
■ Lots of ice
■ 90 ml infusion
■ 30 ml of Carúpano 12 or 18 rum
■ 90 ml of American-style black coffee
You can really win on the appearance of the coffee. Be sure to try it yourself and show your creativity!
Preparation of hot Carupanilla:
■ 30 ml infusion
■ 45 ml of Carúpano 12 or 18 rum
■ 30 ml of American-style black coffee
At the end, you can decorate with whipped cream and coffee beans or a mint leaf.
