THE RECIPES


CARAJILLO
Make espresso coffee
Head about 25 mls of brandy in a pot, along with a twist of lemon, cinnamon stick and three coffee beans
Burn off the alcohol from the brandy (careful!)
Pour the brandy mixture (along with the coffee grains etc) into a glass, pour coffee over the top.
Enjoy your breakfast!

AGUA DE VALENCIA
freshly-squeezed orange juice
cava (or other dry sparkling wine)
gin
vodka
Mix all together, and leave in the fridge for an hour or two so the flavours combine.
Serve chilled

SOL Y SOMBRA
brandy
sweet aniseed liquor
Best mixed over ice, and then served in a snifter or stemless wine glass so you can slowly and pretentiously warm it up in your hand
