Caffe Shakerato

Caffe’ Shakerato

A couple of notes. First off, don't try to make more than two or three caffe’ shakerato at a time. One at a time is the way to go. If you don't have a Martini shaker you can shake it up using a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Lastly, adjust sweetness to taste. It's a matter of how sweet you want your drink to be.

Ingredients

Serves 1

Simple syrup

1 cup water

1 cup sugar (I used raw coconut palm sugar because of the paleo thing, but feel free to use any sugar you want)

Caffe’ Shakerato

1 shot of espresso

4 teaspoons simple syrup (adjust to taste)

6 to 8 ice cubes

Directions

To make the syrup combine sugar and water in a jar, cover, and shake until sugar is dissolved.

Cover and keep chilled.

To make the caffe’ shakerato combine coffee, syrup, and ice in a cocktail shaker.

Fill shaker with ice and shake vigorously (put some muscle into it!) until outside of shaker is frosty and drink is light and frothy, about 30 seconds.

Strain into a small glass. Serve immediately.
