This week’s Happy Hour drink features the Mexican spiced coffee, better known as Café de Olla which is made with Mexican ground coffee, cinnamon, and raw dark brown sugar known as "Piloncillo". This is a traditional drink recipe that has been enjoyed by many generations often made during the cold weather!

*This is the most easy and common version of Café de Olla, different variations vary from locations in Mexico and Latin America.
