Caffè Shakerato (Shaken Espresso) vs Freddo Espresso: Iconic Greek Iced Espresso

Both drinks begin with the same hot double espresso and use ice for chill and foam, but they diverge in technique and serving. The Caffè Shakerato is sweetened with granulated sugar that dissolves in the hot coffee, then shaken hard in a cocktail shaker and strained into a chilled glass without ice, giving a short pour crowned by a thick, creamy froth. The Freddo Espresso, sweet only if you choose, is frothed with a few cubes using a frother or whisk into a light brown foam, then poured over fresh ice in a tall glass and sipped through a straw.
