They make the coffee and put it in a shaker with ice and, if preferred, sugar or liquid sugar, then shake it up. Is this simply iced coffee?

Ice(d) coffee

Basically, to make this drink, first you make the coffee. Then you put the coffee with sugar and ice into the shaker (milk too in some cases) and shake the living day-light out of it - just like you were making any other cocktain in a shaker. You finish by STRAINING the coffee out into the glass - the ice stays in the shaker.

You can choose between ice coffee or iced coffee.

agree Mara Ballarini : yes, and that's like we'd make it in Italy.If you go and ask for one abroad though, you'll get all sort of things...but that's the same with espresso, so if you ant it right maybe you can explain you want it shaken up,but still call it ice(d) coffee

(iced) coffee frappe

also frappé
lots of hits
frappé should strictly speaking be a milkshake but if you Google coffee frappe you'll see it brings up recipes for shaken, iced coffee: see the Starbucks recipe on the link below, for example.
HIH!

"Place the ice, coffee, sugar and syrup in a blender. Blend until the frappe is smooth. Pour into a large, tall glass. "

disagree Kimberly Wastler : In a frappe you blend the ice into the drink. In caffè shakerato the ice id left in the shaker! :) I've never seen ti that way - maybe I've only been to "purists" caffés. Just wanted to clarify that a frappe has the ice included.

I know what you mean, but many places make "shakerato" differently. In some bars there is some crushed ice in the glass, too.
