The frappe is a classic Greek iced coffee drink made by blending instant coffee with water, sugar and milk until nice and frothy. It was first created back in 1957 in the city of Thessaloniki.

It’s made by simply combining shots of rich espresso with cold water over ice cubes. No frills, just pure and simple coffee flavours that pack a punch. This drink is ideal for those who want an invigorating iced coffee without any added milk or sweeteners. The Iced Americano is incredibly refreshing on a hot day and pairs nicely with breakfast items like poha or upma. Give this no-fuss icy coffee a try!

Cold Brew

This chilled coffee is made by steeping ground coffee in cold water for an extended period, usually overnight. The result is a smooth, rich, and less acidic brew with intense coffee flavours. Cold brew has quickly become a refreshing favourite thanks to its ultra-cool and revitalising nature. Unlike regular iced coffee, it’s never heated, giving it a distinctly different taste. This makes cold brew the perfect thirst-quencher on sweltering Ahmedabad days.

Nitro Cold Brew

This unique beverage takes cold brew coffee to another level! Nitro cold brew is made by infusing the chilled brew with nitrogen gas to give it a velvety, creamy texture. The nitrogen also adds a delightful frothy foam on top. The result is a super smooth, ice-cold coffee drink with subtle sweet flavours. Nitro cold brew looks and tastes just like a freshly poured pint of beer, minus the alcohol! For a fun, bubbly spin on your iced coffee, give this nitro cold brew a try.

Japanese Flash Brew

For a truly unique iced coffee experience, try the Japanese flash brew method. It’s made by quickly brewing hot coffee directly onto ice using a special filter. The result is a clean, robust, and intensely flavorful chilled coffee with no bitterness. This flash brew packs a serious caffeine punch that’ll wake you up in no time! The process creates a beverage that’s incredibly fresh-tasting too. If you need an ultra-refreshing icy beverage, grab a glass of Japanese flash brew coffee.

Dalgona Iced Coffee

This frothy, whipped coffee drink took the internet by storm and it’s easy to see why! Dalgona coffee starts with equal parts instant coffee, sugar, and hot water that is vigorously whipped into an airy, caramel-coloured foam. This sweet, creamy foam is then dolloped over icy cold milk for the ultimate indulgent treat. Originally from South Korea, dalgona iced coffee offers a fun twist on regular cold coffee. Its thick, mousse-like texture makes it feel like a dessert in beverage form! Pair it with cake or biscuits for the perfect sweet companion.

Affogato

For all you coffee and ice cream lovers out there, say hello to the affogato! This Italian dessert beverage combines a shot of hot espresso poured over a scoop of cool, creamy vanilla ice cream or gelato. As the espresso meets the frozen treat, it creates a luscious café-flavoured pool surrounding the melting ice cream. Simple yet incredibly indulgent, the affogato marries the richness of coffee with the sweet creaminess of ice cream. It’s the ultimate way to satisfy your coffee and dessert cravings in one go! Enjoy this decadent icy delight after a hearty meal.
