Coffee cocktails and Licor 43 are a perfect match – but have you ever tried a Licor 43 Latte?

Licor 43’s notes of vanilla and citrus complement the bold flavours of coffee perfectly in the iconic Carajillo serve, considered by many to be the new Espresso Martini. But for those seeking a creamier serve, there are so many other options to mix up coffee cocktails. Licor 43 is also known for how well it pairs with milk, so a Licor 43 Latte is a natural fit.  

Latte Day celebrates the versatile coffee drink that is enjoyed all over the world. Although typically enjoyed at breakfast, a Licor 43 Latte can be an exciting way to enjoy coffee later in the day. Although a latte typically tops espresso with steamed milk, these 6 Licor 43 Latte recipes cover everything from iced lattes, to turmeric and even matcha lattes so you can really shake up your coffee cocktails.
