Greek Freddo Espresso

This is a cold recipe

This is my take on a Greek-style Freddo Espresso—perfect for hot summer days.

I prefer using lighter roasted coffee for its sweet and tangy notes, steering clear of bitterness.

Shaking the brewed coffee with ice in a drink mixer/ cocktail shaker (with a strainer) gives the drink its signature smooth texture and creamy froth. It’s a refreshing and vibrant way to enjoy your AeroPress coffee cold.
