Frosty Creamy Rush

The Frosty Creamy Rush is an indulgent chilled coffee beverage hailing from the UK, inspired by the classic cold coffee drinks prevalent in British cafés. This recipe balances the robust intensity of freshly brewed espresso with the rich creaminess of whole milk and sweetened condensed milk, finished with frosty ice cubes blended into a smooth refreshing drink.

Tips & Notes

• Use freshly brewed espresso for a vibrant and bold coffee flavor.
• Milk fat content greatly influences creaminess; whole milk or 3.5% milk is recommended.
• Adjust sweetened condensed milk according to your sweetness preference.
• For an extra creamy texture, top with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder.
• To vary the caffeine hit, try using a decaf espresso or a strong cold brew concentrate.
