Iced Coffee Shakerato

Image may contain Beverage Juice Cup Smoothie and Milk
Alex Lau

When shaken with a lot of ice and a splash of sweetener, espresso forms a creamy froth on top and becomes an infinitely more exciting beverage. Just ask the Italians, who taught us the genius of the shakerato. You can use regular milk instead of sweet and creamy condensed milk (a tip we took from Vietnamese Cà Phê Sữa Đá), but the simple syrup is essential for the finished texture.
