    Prepare the coffee

    Brew 120 ml of strong coffee and chill in the refrigerator until cold.

  2. 2

    Prepare the glass

    Fill a tall glass or highball with 1 cup ice cubes.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Chill and blend

    Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to chill and blend. If you don’t have a shaker, stir thoroughly with a bar spoon.
