Freddo Espresso (Greek Iced Coffee)
A beloved Greek iced coffee that's easy to make at home! The perfect afternoon pick-me-up, and no espresso machine necessary (see note for more options).
Ingredients
- Double shot freshly brewed espresso (about 2 ounces or 1/4 cup)
- sugar to taste (optional)
- ice
- Scant 1/4 cup cold water
- milk (optional, whole milk, low fat, or unflavored plant-based all work)
Instructions
- Shake. Pour the espresso into a cocktail shaker or a Mason jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add sugar to taste (if using, about 2 teaspoons for medium sweetness). Add three ice cubes, cover, and seal. Shake until the ice has mostly melted and the coffee is cold and frothy.
- Dilute. Fill a tall, thin glass with ice, pour over the coffee, and add the cold water.
- Optional: Add a dash of milk on top. Do not stir, or you will lose some of the froth.
- Enjoy! Serve immediately with a straw. Sip leisurely.
Notes
- What type of coffee to use?
- The real deal and the best choice since it’s so concentrated and syrupy, so it holds up well to being shaken with ice without getting watery.
- An acceptable second choice, but keep in mind it will be a bit more diluted and not as nicely frothy.
- This works well too, simply use the small cup option.
- Also works. Use about 18 grams of coffee to make 2 ounces of liquid.

What type of coffee to use?
Best option: Espresso (or Decaffeinated Espresso.) The real deal and the best choice since it’s so concentrated and syrupy, so it holds up well to being shaken with ice without getting watery. Drip coffee: An acceptable second choice, but keep in mind it will be a bit more diluted and not as nicely frothy. Espresso pods (like Nespresso): This works well too, simply use the small cup option. Moka Pot: Also works. Use about 18 grams of coffee to make 2 ounces of liquid.
