One summer day in 1957 the weather was very hot. Dimitros wanted to drink a portion of his favorite coffee drink, but he didn’t have boiling water on hand. But there was a shaker available. The guy just decided to mix sugar, coffee and cold water in it. He also added a few ice cubes to the shaker.

The result of such actions was pleasantly surprising. The Greek managed to prepare an invigorating and refreshing cold drink with a fairly strong taste. Besides, he looked attractive. While beating, a high foam formed.
