A spiced, sweetened drink made with chocolate, cinnamon, and other ingredients, popular in Spanish colonial America.
From Spanish 'barajillo,' possibly from 'baraja' (a deck of cards) or relating to mixed drinks. The term reflects Spanish colonial culinary traditions.
Barajillo was a luxury drink in colonial Mexico—chocolate was so expensive that only the wealthy could afford this spiced version, making it a status symbol.
