Notes

- Chill Glass Beforehand: Prep your serving glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes, creating a frosty surface that keeps the shakerato perfectly cold.
- Master Vigorous Shaking: Create a powerful, rhythmic shake using a cocktail shaker filled with plenty of ice, transforming the drink into a creamy, frothy masterpiece.
- Balance Sweetness Carefully: Experiment with sweetened condensed milk or simple syrup, adding just enough to complement the coffee’s natural boldness without overwhelming its character.
- Serve Instantly: Pour the shakerato immediately after shaking, capturing its peak frothiness and ensuring a refreshing, ice-cold drinking experience that delights the senses.
