The word literally means “to chill” in French, and the fundamental rule of frappé making is that the drink must be chilled before it is served or made with cold ingredients. Ice is often involved as well, either in cubed or ground form. In many cases, a frappé is also whipped in a blender or with a hand tool. In addition to evenly distributing the ingredients, this often generates a layer of foam or froth on the top which some consumers find enjoyable. The beverage may also be topped with whipped cream or syrup.
In the American Northeast, a frappé is any type of milkshake which is deliberately blended so that it will be thin, rather than thick. These frappés may be made with ice cream and milk or ice cream and coffee, with coffee and vanilla ice cream being a favorite pairing. Several establishments on the Eastern Seaboard are well known for their frappés.
