Mazagran (also called café mazagran, formerly spelled masagran)[1] is a cold, sweetened coffee drink that originated in Algeria.[1] Portuguese versions may use espresso, lemon, mint and rum, and Austrian versions are served with an ice cube and include rum. Sometimes a fast version is achieved by pouring a previously sweetened espresso in a cup with ice cubes and a slice of lemon. Mazagran has been described as "the original iced coffee".[2]
