Description
This Iced Shaken Espresso is a quick and refreshing coffee drink that combines robust espresso shots with a touch of homemade brown sugar syrup and cinnamon, shaken vigorously over ice and topped with creamy oat milk.

Ingredients
Espresso Mix
- 3 shots espresso
- 2 tablespoons homemade brown sugar syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping
- ⅓ cup oat milk or your personal milk preference
Others
- About 1 ½ cups ice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the 3 shots of freshly brewed espresso, 2 tablespoons of homemade brown sugar syrup, and ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon into a 12-ounce mason jar. Stir gently to blend the flavors evenly.
- Add Ice and Shake: Fill the jar with about 1 ½ cups of ice. Tightly secure the lid on the jar, then shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. This process chills and froths the espresso mixture, giving it a light, airy texture.
- Serve and Top: Pour the shaken espresso mixture into a tall glass. Top with ⅓ cup of oat milk or your preferred milk alternative to add creaminess and balance the bold coffee flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute oat milk with almond, soy, or dairy milk depending on your preference.
- To make homemade brown sugar syrup, dissolve equal parts brown sugar and water over low heat until combined, then cool before using.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon to your taste for a spicier or milder flavor.
- For a stronger caffeine kick, use espresso shots brewed from dark roast beans.
- If you don’t have a mason jar, use any sealable container suitable for shaking.
