A refreshing and creamy iced espresso drink made with brown sugar and oat milk, shaken vigorously with ice to create a frothy, smooth texture. Perfect for a quick caffeine boost with a sweet, indulgent twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (60 ml) freshly brewed espresso (or strong brewed coffee/cold brew concentrate)
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar (preferably dark brown sugar)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) oat milk (barista-style recommended)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: maple syrup or agave as sweetener substitute
  • Optional: almond or cashew milk as dairy-free alternative

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots (60 ml) of espresso using your preferred method and let cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Stir 2 teaspoons of brown sugar into the warm espresso until fully dissolved.
  3. Add about 1 cup (240 ml) of ice cubes to a cocktail shaker or mason jar.
  4. Pour the sweetened espresso over the ice.
  5. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until frothy and chilled.
  6. Fill a serving glass with fresh ice and strain or pour the shaken espresso over it.
  7. Pour ½ cup (120 ml) of cold oat milk over the espresso and watch it swirl.
  8. Optionally add a splash of vanilla extract and stir gently if desired.
  9. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Shake espresso vigorously with ice to create a frothy texture. Use barista-style oat milk for best creaminess. Dissolve brown sugar in warm espresso to avoid graininess. If no espresso machine, strong brewed coffee or cold brew concentrate works well. Store espresso and oat milk separately if prepping ahead and shake before serving.
