About
A caffè shakerato (kafˈfɛ ʃekeˈraːto, Italian pronunciation: [ʃekeˈraːto], "shaken coffee"), commonly shortened to shakerato, is an Italian iced coffee drink prepared by vigorously shaking espresso with ice cubes and simple syrup or sugar in a cocktail shaker, then straining the mixture into a chilled glass. The result is a cold, frothy beverage with a layer of fine foam on top, typically served in a martini glass without ice.
The drink is ubiquitous in Italian cafés and bars during the summer months and is considered the country's characteristic warm-weather espresso preparation. Its name derives from the English verb "shake" with the Italian past-participle suffix -ato.
