A shakerato is a non-alcoholic drink made by frothing up espresso with simple syrup and ice in a shaker. Delicious, but were cocktail party we dont do non-alcoholic drinks Thats why we were so excited to come across the recipe for the boozy shakerato from heather perkins at dianoias eatery in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. Its a flexible template that makes a great drink every time, whether youre using limoncello, amaretto, or a vanilla anise liqueur like sambuca. Be sure to shake the mixture very vigorously, until you feel like your arms will fall off Its worth it for the aerated, frothy texture it imparts to the drink.
