Banana Bread Carajillo

The fruity liqueur stands in for Licor 43—the traditional spirit in a Mexican carajillo. It adds rich, ripe, and fruity notes that take some of the edge off the bitterness from the espresso. A touch of vanilla balances the chocolatey coffee liqueur, and a dusting of cinnamon adds warmth. The result lands between dessert and a post-dinner pick-me-up. For a mellower cocktail, use decaf espresso.

• 2 ounces banana liqueur (such as Pairidaeza Crème De Banane)
