Summer’s Pleasures- Caffe Shakerato

August 1, 2011 by Divina Cucina

Shake – shake – shake

Love the sound of cocktail shakers and in summer I give my local barista’s a workout.
Italians are not big into ice, but one specialty of summer I adore is the Italian iced coffee called shakerato, “shaken”.

They take a hot shot of expresso and pour it over a shaker full of ice cubes.
You can get it sweetened ( usually with some simple syrup) or not.

They give it  several hard shakes— and voila’.

Try serving this with some Baileys and perhaps a shot of vodka for a cool summer cocktail.

When I went to my local bar in Certaldo, instead of ice, he used vanilla gelato.

Originally from California; Tuscany has been my home since 1984. I found the city of Florence to hold all my passions, food, wine, art all in one place. When I am not in Tuscany, I am often found in Sicily, my other favorite place to be. Always searching for recipes to share and exploring for the guides I write to my favorite cities for food and wine.
