YouTube and TikTok sensation Nick DiGiovanni is back with another gigantic record-breaking creation – an iced latte that’s big enough to swim in.
The chef teamed up with US chain Dunkin’ to create the largest iced latte, and he delivered one that measured 1,044.92 litres.
That’s enough liquid to fill nearly seven bath tubs.
Nick, dressed in a ‘Dun-Kings’ tracksuit made famous by Ben Affleck during a Super Bowl commercial a few months earlier, unveiled his behemoth beverage at a Dunkin’ chain in Canton, Massachusetts, USA, on 20 March. It was his 10th successful Guinness World Records attempt.
In this behind-the-scenes video, former MasterChef contestant Nick is seen creating a gigantic 8 ft 0.5 in cup before adding 1,200 lb of ice, 3,200 shots of espresso, and 100 gallons of milk.
After giving it a good stir, he popped the lid on and added a supersized straw to finish it off.
t took 20 people over 24 hours to make the entire latte, but only 15 minutes to assemble it on site.
The cup had a tap on the side so the iced latte could be served up in smaller cups to the crowd of people who’d come along to witness the record being broken.
None of the coffee drink went to waste.
Nick, who among other things has made the largest beef wellington and the largest doughnut cake, was presented with his official Guinness World Records certificate by Adjudicator Andrew Glass.
Andrew told him: “Nick, you are attempting your 10th Guinness World Records title, the record to beat here is 1,000 litres and you achieved 1,044.92. Congratulations, you’re Officially Amazing.”
The creation of the record-breaking drink was all about celebrating Nick’s collaboration with Dunkin’ and a beverage of his very own, called Chef Nick, going on sale in store.
Here are the other GWR titles Nick currently has to his name:
- Fastest time to fillet a 10 lb fish – 1 min 0.29 sec
