Shaken Iced

Iced

Two shots. Some ice. A wrist.

Cocktail shaker mid-shake with ice, one hand, cold coffee inside — Lot | 23 shaken iced coffee brew guide

The shaken iced is what happens when a barista who worked in a bar makes coffee. Pull a double, throw it in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake hard for fifteen seconds.

Add sugar or syrup before you shake if you want it. Add milk after if you must. Pour everything into the glass — ice included — and drink it fast, before the foam melts.

Use a coffee built for espresso. Anything too delicate gets drowned by the cold.
