Celebrate National Espresso Day with These Delicious Drinks!

November 23rd is National Espresso Day, so why not celebrate by sampling some of the most delicious espresso-based drinks around?

Espresso is a coffee-brewing method with Italian roots, where nearly boiling water (90°C) passes through finely-ground coffee beans under high pressure, giving it its signature thickness like warm honey. Enjoyed around the world in countries including Italy, France and New Zealand – espresso has cemented itself as one of the most popular ways to enjoy your cup ‘o joe! Now that you know what espresso is, let’s take a look at some popular drinks made with this versatile ingredient!

The Classic – Espresso

Espresso has been around since 1884 and it remains one of the most popular coffee drinks in the world. To make espresso, hot water is forced through tightly packed coffee grounds until it forms into a rich and full-bodied liquid. This drink can be enjoyed on its own or topped with steamed milk for an extra creamy texture. A perfect way to celebrate National Espresso Day!

Latte Art – Cappuccino

Cappuccinos are made by mixing equal parts espresso and steamed milk, then topping it off with foamy milk foam. Baristas often use latte art techniques when making cappuccinos – which means that each cup can be as unique as the barista who makes it! If you’re looking for something special on National Espresso Day, why not try ordering your cappuccino from an experienced barista? You won’t regret it!

Icy Treat – Iced Latte

For those who like their coffee cold, an Iced Latte is the perfect choice. It’s made by combining shots of espresso with cold milk over ice cubes. You can get creative and add flavored syrups or sweeteners to create your own unique drink – perfect for sipping on during those hot summer days (or celebrating National Espresso Day).

So there you have it – three delicious espresso-based drinks that any food lover will enjoy! Whether you want something classic like an espresso or something icy cool like an Iced Latte, there’s something here for everyone. So don’t forget to celebrate National Espresso Day on November 23rd – grab your favorite drink and cheers to espresso! Cheers!
