Shakerato in a martini glass, in Florence, Italy

A shakerato (Italian pronunciation: [ʃekeˈraːto], from Italian: caffè shakerato, "shaken coffee") is an Italian drink prepared by shaking espresso and simple syrup with ice cubes, resulting in a cold drink with a frothy head. It is popular and easily obtainable in Italy.[1]

Preparation

[edit | edit source]

The shakerato is prepared by shaking together a shot of espresso with ice cubes in a cocktail shaker and simple syrup.[2] Once a frothy consistency has been obtained it is strained into a glass. It is usually served in a martini glass.[3] Sometimes, Baileys is added to give an alcoholic twist.
