A Spanish-born coffee-and-spirit drink that found its modern voice in Mexico, where it's poured equal parts Licor 43 and hot espresso, shaken hard over ice until a tawny foam rises, and served over fresh cubes. The liqueur's vanilla and citrus warmth rounds the espresso's bitterness into something dessert-like and bracing at once. The name nods to the Spanish "coraje" — courage — echoing the legend of soldiers in colonial Cuba fortifying their coffee before battle.
