A great trick is to cut back on the simple syrup by half and add coarse Demerara sugar to the shaker. The coarse grains slowly dissolve at the bottom of the glass and you crunch the few remaining at the end. Yum. And authentic in Italy, Croatia, Greece.
Like anything, taste is king. If this shakerato is too sweet for you, try this: 2 oz. fruity espresso (like an Ethiopian) .5 oz. Demerara syrup (1:1 water-sugar ratio) A pinch of salt. Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a 3 oz. martini glass. The salt imparts a hint of flavor. But more importantly makes a nice frothy top, much like the crema on an espresso. It's beautiful and delicious. A great afternoon pick-me-up. Cheers!
And during the 2022 summer heatwave, this is exactly what I need until my cold brew is brewing!
I tried the suggested simple syrup and sugar combo. It yielded significantly less foam than simple syrup alone. Will revert to 1 T simple syrup and no added sugar.
