Freddo Cappuccino: Iconic Greek Iced Coffee with Cold Foam vs Caffè Shakerato (Shaken Espresso)

Both drinks start with two hot shots of espresso chilled with ice, yet they arrive at very different textures. The Freddo Cappuccino stirs the coffee briefly with ice to cool it and soften its bitterness, pours it over fresh cubes, then crowns it with a thick, cloud-like cold milk foam, sipped through a straw in distinct layers, with sugar entirely optional. The Caffè Shakerato skips milk altogether: espresso and sugar are shaken hard with ice and strained into a chilled glass, leaving a sweet, ice-free coffee topped by its own creamy froth.
