Freddo espresso (also known as Caffè Freddo; Italian pronounciation: [cahf-FEH FREHD-doh] ) is a simple iced coffee drink made of espresso, sweetener (most commonly sugar) and ice. It was invented in Greece in the 1990s as an alternative to hot coffee and is mostly consumed throughout summer. Freddo espresso is one of the two variations of Freddo, the other variation being a Freddo cappucino.

Origin
The word 'freddo' means cold in Italian. The drink originated from Athens, Greece and was made for the first time in 1991. The drink was first created as an upgrade of the Greek Frappe in which the instant powdered was exchanged for an espresso. Nowadays the popularity of the Freddo espresso outgrew the one of the Greek Frappe, leading to its fall.

Preperation
The drink can be simply made within minutes. To create this refreshing drink, two shots of espresso are poured over a cup of ice in a cocktail shaker. The mixture is vigorously shaken until a delightful foam forms. Next, the liquid is carefully strained over a glass filled with fresh ice, and sweetener can be added according to personal preference.

Variations
A common variation of the Freddo espresso, Freddo cappucino, can be made by serving foamy milk or cream over the Freddo espresso.
