Iced Sweetened Shaken Espresso

Iced Sweetened Shaken Espresso

A shaken espresso is about texture as much as flavor. A short shake with ice chills the coffee quickly and produces a light foam that fades as the drink sits.

Ingredients

• 2 shots freshly brewed espresso (2 oz)
• 1 tsp granulated sugar
• 4 oz cold water
• 1 cup ice cubes

How to Make It

1. Brew 2 espresso shots (about 2 oz).
2. Stir the sugar into the hot espresso until dissolved.
3. Add the sweetened espresso, cold water, and ice to a shaker or tightly sealed jar.
4. Shake for about 10 seconds until chilled and lightly foamy.
5. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Tips for a Better Cup

Dissolve the sugar in hot espresso first. Shake in a securely closed, heat-safe container with the cold water and ice, and serve right away. This is not a traditional Cuban cafecito.
