A quick and easy iced espresso drink with brown sugar and oatmilk, shaken to create a frothy, creamy texture reminiscent of Starbucks’ popular beverage.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots espresso (about 2 oz / 60 ml), freshly brewed
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ½ cup oatmilk (120 ml), preferably barista-style
  • Ice cubes (about 1 cup / 240 ml)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (about ⅛ teaspoon)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots of espresso (about 2 oz / 60 ml) or prepare ½ cup (120 ml) of strong coffee.
  2. While espresso is hot, add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and stir vigorously until dissolved.
  3. Pour the sweetened espresso into a cocktail shaker or mason jar.
  4. Add about 1 cup (240 ml) of ice cubes to the shaker.
  5. Seal and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until frothy and chilled.
  6. Fill a serving glass halfway with fresh ice cubes.
  7. Strain the shaken espresso over the ice in the serving glass.
  8. Pour ½ cup (120 ml) oatmilk gently over the espresso and stir lightly.
  9. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top and add ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract if desired.
  10. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

Shake the espresso while hot to fully dissolve the brown sugar and create froth. Use barista-style oatmilk for best creaminess and froth. Pour oatmilk gently to maintain layers if desired. Store brown sugar espresso syrup separately for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigerating the fully mixed drink to prevent separation.
