Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Use room temperature espresso instead of hot, to avoid melting the ice too soon and diluting the drink before it has been adequately chilled and shaken.
Preparation Tip 2
Shake for at least 15 seconds to create a rich, silky foam that keeps the espresso beans afloat for flawless presentation.
