☕ Forget Cold Brew. This is better!
► Watch our NEW video: https://youtu.be/JycDcceeXZM
If you’ve never had a proper Italian Shakerato, you’re missing one of the simplest and most satisfying coffee drinks we make in Italy.
Just quality espresso, ice, sugar (if you want it) and a technique that transforms them into something silky, frothy, and incredibly refreshing. The Shakerato is traditionally non-alcoholic, but there are alcoholic variations too.
In today’s NEW video, I’ll show you exactly how Italian bars make a real Shakerato, why it develops that beautiful foam on top, and how you can recreate it at home with equipment you probably already own.
And if you’re the type of person who wants to know the how and why—we released a brand new members-only masterclass yesterday on the Shakerato:
🔒 Members-only Masterclass: https://youtu.be/4CgwirtEtLs
The public video will teach you how to make a great Shakerato.
The masterclass will teach you how to make the best one you’ve ever had.

🍳 Looking for a pan upgrade? This is a real workhorse...
— and a great Father's Day gift idea! Finally, we've found an affordable source for the pan we purchased 20 years ago from Sur La Table.
► You can shop it here: shoplowes.me/42UXSj9
(affiliate link)
It is a large 3-ply stainless steel frying pan perfect for electric, gas or induction stovetops. While the design has changed slightly over the years (ours is slightly larger), the material specs are the same and you can see us put this pan to work in countless videos on our channel!
► Lowes also has an excellent price on a similar 3-ply from a professional brand that we love (Tramontina): shoplowes.me/4nRiW3z
