Frappé coffee (also Greek frappé or café frappé Greek: φραπές, frapés) is a Greek iced coffee drink made from instant coffee, water and sugar.Accidentally[citation needed] invented by a Nescafe representative named Dimitris Vakondios in 1957 in the city of Thessaloniki, frappé is sold primarily in Greece and is among the most popular drinks in Greece and Cyprus, and is available at virtually all Greek cafés. The word frappé comes from the French word frapper, meaning 'to hit', as crushed ice does when mixed with a drink and shaken in a cocktail shaker. The frappé has become a hallmark of post-war outdoor Greek coffee culture.
