National Frappe Day

A frappé is a popular cold coffee beverage that typically consists of coffee, ice, and milk or cream, sweetened to taste. It's often blended or shaken to create a frothy and refreshing drink. Frappés can be customized with various flavors and toppings, such as whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or caramel drizzle.

The history of the frappé dates back to Greece, where it is known as the "Greek frappé." It was invented by Dimitris Vakondios, a Nescafe representative, in 1957. The story goes that he was demonstrating a new instant coffee product at the Thessaloniki International Fair but couldn't find hot water. So, he improvised by mixing the instant coffee with cold water and ice cubes in a shaker, creating a frothy, chilled coffee drink. This accidental invention became a sensation and is now a beloved coffee beverage in Greece and beyond.

In recent years, frappés have evolved, and there are many variations, including those made with different types of coffee, flavored syrups, and alternative milk options. They are particularly popular during the hot summer months and have gained popularity in various parts of the world, with each region adding its unique twist to the classic recipe.
