American-style frappés blend coffee or espresso with ice, milk, sugar and flavored syrup until slushy, often topped with whipped cream. The Greek frappé shakes instant coffee, sugar and a little water into a thick foam, then adds ice and water or milk.

In New England, a frappe also means a thick milkshake made with ice cream.
