Orange Frappe Recipe

Frappe Invented Accidentally

Now a Favorite Restaurant Drink

This Orange Frappe Recipe is an adaptation of a beverage that was invented accidentally during a trade show in Greece.

An employee of the Nestlé Company was looking for a way to have his usual instant coffee during his break but he could not find any hot water.

He made his instant coffee using cold water and a shaker, creating the first frappé coffee.

By definition, a frappe is an iced beverage that has been shaken, blended or beaten to produce a tasty foam and refreshing blended drink which is served cold.

The word frappé is French, meaning "shaken." In France a frappé is actually a milkshake beverage produced by mixing milk or fruit juices in a shaker (no coffee). In New England (USA), a frappé often contains ice cream.

This orange frappe' restaurant recipe is a variation of the French versions.
