HOW TO PREPARE THE BEST SHAKEN ICED COFFEE
Also known as Iced Coffee Shaker or as Shaken Ice Coffee, Caffe Shakerato is one of our all-time favorite iced coffee beverages.
An Italianized expression that comes from the English verb "shaken", the “Shakerato" is made by shaking sugar and ice with a freshly brewed shot of your favorite espresso.
This method of preparation preserves and enhances the coffee’s flavors and aromas, while also giving it its creamy texture. The final result is a delightfully sweet and creamy iced espresso.
A coffee drink that is ideal for any time of the day, the Caffe Shakerato can be elevated to a whole new level once spiked. If you are in the mood for something stronger, feel free to mix in some of your favorite alcohol or liqueur to this recipe.
Our favorite liqueur to accompany this type of coffee is Baileys or Amaretto.
