Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots (about 2 oz / 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso (or strong brewed coffee or concentrated cold brew)
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar (dark brown sugar preferred)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) oat milk (preferably barista-style)
- Ice cubes (about 1 cup / 240 ml)
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Brew two shots of espresso (about 2 oz / 60 ml) and let cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons of brown sugar into the warm espresso until fully dissolved.
- Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar halfway with ice cubes (about 1 cup / 240 ml).
- Pour the sweetened espresso over the ice, then add 1/2 cup (120 ml) oat milk. Add optional cinnamon or vanilla extract if desired.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until frothy and chilled.
- Fill a serving glass with fresh ice and strain or pour the shaken espresso and oat milk mixture over the ice.
- Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top for presentation.
Notes
Do not overfill the shaker with ice to avoid difficulty shaking and dilution. Shake vigorously but not too long to maintain froth and avoid melting ice. Use barista-style oat milk for best frothing and creaminess. Brown sugar dissolves best in warm espresso. Freshly ground medium roast beans with nutty and chocolate undertones complement this drink well. Can substitute sweeteners and plant milks as desired.
