A refreshing and energizing Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso made with freshly brewed espresso, light brown sugar, oat milk, and a hint of cinnamon. This simple iced coffee beverage is shaken to perfection for a smooth and well-chilled finish, perfect for a quick caffeine boost on warm days or any time you crave a sweetened, spiced coffee drink.

Ingredients

Espresso Mixture

  • 4 espresso shots (4 oz / 120 ml)
  • 2–3 tsp light brown sugar or coconut sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 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
  • Dash of cinnamon for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker or a tightly sealed jar such as a Mason jar, add the four espresso shots, 2 to 3 teaspoons of light brown sugar or coconut sugar (adjust sweetness based on your preference), 1 cup of ice cubes, and ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This combination will create the base flavor for the shaken espresso.
  2. Shake Vigorously: Seal the shaker or jar tightly and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. The shaking chills the espresso quickly, dissolves the sugar, and combines the flavors well, resulting in a smooth and frothy iced espresso.
  3. Prepare Glass: Fill a serving glass with ½ cup of ice cubes. You can adjust the amount of ice depending on whether you prefer your drink stronger or colder.
  4. Pour and Add Milk: Pour the shaken espresso mixture over the ice in the glass. Then add 1/3 cup (80 ml) of unsweetened oat milk or barista oat milk creamer to the glass to add creaminess and balance the bitterness of the espresso.
  5. Garnish and Stir: Finish by sprinkling a dash of cinnamon on top to enhance the flavor and aroma. Give the drink a gentle stir to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed before enjoying your refreshing Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness according to your taste by varying the amount of brown sugar or coconut sugar.
  • Use barista oat milk creamer for a creamier texture and better froth if preferred.
  • Shake the espresso vigorously to properly chill the drink and dissolve the sugar.
  • If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, a tightly sealed jar works equally well.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, reduce the amount of ice used in the serving glass.
  • This recipe is naturally dairy-free and can be made vegan by using plant-based milk.
