Brandy and coffee frappe
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. The word "frappe" comes from the French "frappe," meaning to beat, strike, or hit. Originally, frappe referred to a classic method of serving alcoholic beverages with a large amount of crushed ice. Nowadays, a frappe is any alcoholic cocktail based on fine ice shavings, milk, and syrup (fruit, berry, or chocolate). Serve chilled.
