Panama's coffee legacy — refined.
The History of the Carajillo
The Carajillo is a drink rooted in history and cultural tradition.
Originating in Spain and evolving throughout Latin America, it traditionally combines espresso and liqueur, becoming associated with confident rituals, refined conversation, and after-dinner gatherings in premium hospitality settings.
In Panama, the drink has gained strong popularity in luxury hotel lounges, rooftop venues, and beach clubs.
Yet the traditional preparation is often heavy, sweet, and served at approximately 10% ABV — limiting its versatility in modern settings.
NOCTURNE honors this legacy while refining it for today's hospitality landscape in Panama and across the Americas.
