Pretty nice actually. I'd make some more but it's getting a bit cold for iced coffee in these parts. Grendel... hadn't come across the Cold Process method... and interesting that searching for it lead straight back to CoffeeSnobs :) Sounds like a lot of work for cold coffee... but could be worthwhile for these kind of applications. Let me know if you do try it. I think they melt a bit slower than ice cubes do… and are sort of sticky as they turn back into liquid form. Pretty nice actually.

I am going to try this with both Espresso and Cold Process Coffee - the CP is remarkable as a cocktail base but I have not tried frozen espresso before and I reckon it could work very well.

It's still got a creamy, soft kind of consistency despite being frozen which is really nice. I have some frangelico... no amaretto... but with a whole tray of cubes left, there is much experimenting to be done :) Ange: You must have been so excited you commented twice... Or else you have a really short memory :) Happy Birthday for the weekend, hope it goes great, and that these little cocktails go down well. Anytime anyone makes my stuff I get a real buzz. My male ego is predictable :) Rebecca: Espreso Granita would go down well too, although the espresso cubes have a consistency unlike ice… It’s still got a creamy, soft kind of consistency despite being frozen which is really nice.
