My parents were big fans of iced coffee, but this was nothing like it. Iced Coffee is watery in my opinion, whereas a Caffé Shakerato is velvety, rich, and smooth.
I tried making it at home and it tasted bitter and watery. But now in the South of France, with 37C temperatures I was tempted to try again.
I may not have perfected it, but this was a pretty good coffee even if I say so myself.
Serves 2
2 espresso cups of freshly made strong coffee
3 tsp sugar
5 ice cubes
Put all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake like mad until the shaker feels cold. Strain (to avoid any ice) I to a glass and serve.
Funnily enough our holiday let doesn’t have a cocktail shaker. I froze about an espresso cup of water in a small plastic bottle with a wide neck, and poured my fresh coffee and sugar into this to use as a shaker.
