Experience the refreshing and energizing Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso, a perfectly balanced iced coffee drink combining rich espresso shots, sweetened with light brown sugar, and complemented by creamy oat milk and a hint of cinnamon. This delightful recipe is easy to prepare and ideal for a quick caffeinated boost with a touch of spice.

Ingredients

Espresso Mixture

  • 4 espresso shots (4 oz / 120 ml)
  • 2–3 tsp light brown sugar or coconut sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon plus a dash for topping
  • 1 cup ice cubes (for shaking)

To Serve

  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) unsweetened oat milk or barista oat milk creamer
  • ½ cup ice cubes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker or a tightly sealed jar, add the espresso shots, light brown sugar or coconut sugar, 1 cup of ice cubes, and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. This mixture forms the base of your shaken espresso drink.
  2. Shake Vigorously: Secure the lid tightly and shake the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds. This chills the coffee thoroughly, blends the flavors, and creates a frothy texture.
  3. Prepare Serving Glass: Fill a glass with ½ cup of ice cubes to keep the drink cold without diluting it too quickly.
  4. Pour and Layer: Pour the shaken espresso mixture over the ice in the glass. Follow by gently pouring 1/3 cup of oat milk on top to add creaminess and balance the sweetness.
  5. Garnish and Stir: Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top for added aroma and flavor, then give the drink a gentle stir to evenly combine the oat milk with the espresso.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar or coconut sugar to suit your preferred level of sweetness.
  • Use barista style oat milk creamer for a creamier texture and better froth.
  • Shaking the espresso with ice chills it quickly without diluting, preserving a strong coffee flavor.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the dash used for topping or mix in a pinch into the espresso before shaking.
  • This drink is best consumed immediately to enjoy the full freshness and frothiness.
