This is a refreshing, low‑calorie Italian‑style iced coffee where a freshly brewed shot of espresso is shaken cold with ice cubes until creamy, instead of being served with ice cream or whipped cream. It’s simple to make at home with just espresso, a handful of ice, and optional sugar or a splash of milk, resulting in a rich, chilled coffee that’s the perfect cool drink for warm weather.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Espresso Temperature Magic ☕
Brew your espresso fresh and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before shaking to prevent immediate ice melting and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
Shake Like a Pro 🤝
Use a cocktail shaker with a tight lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to create a frothy, silky emulsion that transforms the coffee's texture.
Ice Quality Matters 🧊
Use large, dense ice cubes instead of small chips to minimize dilution and maintain the intense coffee flavor during shaking.
Sugar Syrup Hack 🍯
Pre-dissolve sugar in a small amount of hot espresso before shaking to ensure smooth sweetness without granular texture.
Serving Perfection 🥤
Strain the shaken coffee immediately into a chilled glass to preserve the delicate foam and prevent further ice melting.
