I discovered the Shakerato relatively recently in my coffee career. I don't know how I managed to never come across such a classic beverage, but I'm glad I finally did. In my opinion, it is the best way to enjoy espresso cold and is now about the only way I'll indulge in iced coffee. Personally, I prefer mine made with Panama Esmeralda Special roasted light but African and Colombian coffees also work very well for this beverage. Here is my recipe for summer refreshment:
Emerald Shakerato
1) pour a double shot of Panama Esmeralda into a cocktail shaker
2) add 1-2tsp of simple syrup (granulated or deramera sugar can also be used)
3) fill cocktail shaker 1/2 way with ice cubes and shake vigorously
4) strain into a chilled glass
5) I normally don't add anything to my coffee or espresso, but in this case, I enjoy my shakerato with a twist of lemon and a splash of cream.
6) Enjoy!
