Meet the Jingling Java Shake, Koffee Kult’s bold new creation that blends the sophistication of a shakerato with the festive flavor of peppermint. This cold, concentrated espresso drink is smooth, invigorating, and filled with holiday spirit.
A Shakerato with Holiday Energy
Inspired by the Italian shakerato, this recipe delivers elegance and energy in one sip.

A touch of simple syrup adds balance, letting the espresso’s natural depth shine through.
The result is a silky, frothy peppermint espresso that feels like a celebration in every glass. It’s the perfect holiday coffee drink to enjoy all season long.
