ICED COFFEE
Traditionally, Italians enjoy a Caffé Shakerato (translating to ‘coffee shaken’) as an elegant and simple cold summer time drink. It is a simple beverage using freshly ground espresso and shaken over ice and poured into a martini glass. The shaking action emulsifies the ingredients making it taste creamy and forming a thick layer of froth without the use of milk.
METHOD
-
Combine ¾ cup of freshly-brewed Espresso di Manfredi Classico coffee
-
Using a metal cocktail mixer, fill half the mixer with small ice cubes
-
Add coffee into mixer and shake vigorously for a full 30 seconds
-
Strain espresso into martini glass
-
Enjoy!
Of course, some may prefer a sweetened version of the traditional iced coffee. We recommend -
-
Caffé Latte Shakerato - made as above, adding milk to taste before shaking
-
Caffé Freddo alla Vaniglia - made as above but sweetened with vanilla syrup before shaking
