Forty-three botanicals — citrus, fruit, herbs and spice — macerated and blended into something that tastes, improbably, of pure vanilla. Licor 43 is the bottle behind the Carajillo, the espresso serve that has taken over drinks lists from Mexico City to Soho, and the easiest luxury on any back bar to fall for.

Questions
What does Licor 43 taste like?
Overwhelmingly of vanilla, with candied orange behind it and a thread of cinnamon and honey. It is sweet but not cloying, and at 31% there is enough spirit underneath to stop it feeling like syrup.
What is a Carajillo?
Equal parts Licor 43 and freshly pulled espresso, shaken hard with ice and strained into a rocks glass over a large cube. It is the drink that took the bottle from Spanish family cupboards onto cocktail lists worldwide — and it takes about ninety seconds to make.
Are the 43 ingredients published?
No. The house confirms the count and the broad families — Mediterranean citrus and fruit, herbs and spices — but the full recipe has stayed inside the Zamora family since 1946.
Who is this a good gift for?
The coffee obsessive, the person who has just bought an espresso machine, and anyone who says they don't really like spirits. It is one of the few bottles that converts people — pour it over milk and hand it over, and the argument is finished.
Can you deliver it directly to the person I'm gifting?
Yes — enter their address at checkout and add your message. In London it can be at their door within 30–45 minutes, any hour of the day. The recipient must be 18+ with ID for our Challenge 21 check.
