A quick and easy iced espresso drink shaken with brown sugar and oat milk to create a creamy, frothy, and refreshing coffee treat perfect for warm weather and dairy-free diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 2 fl oz) freshly brewed hot espresso
  • 2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (4 fl oz) barista-style oat milk
  • Ice cubes (large cubes preferred)
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots (about 2 fl oz) of hot espresso using an espresso machine or strong coffee concentrate.
  2. While the espresso is still hot, stir in 2 teaspoons of packed brown sugar until completely dissolved (about 30 seconds).
  3. Pour the sweetened espresso into a cocktail shaker or mason jar and seal tightly.
  4. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to chill and froth the espresso.
  5. Fill a tall glass with large ice cubes to the top.
  6. Strain or pour the shaken espresso over the ice, filling about two-thirds of the glass.
  7. Pour 1/2 cup (4 fl oz) of oat milk over the espresso and ice. Stir gently if desired or leave layered for an ombrรฉ effect.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or add a drop of vanilla extract on top.

Notes

Use freshly brewed hot espresso to fully dissolve the brown sugar and create froth. Shake vigorously to aerate the espresso and chill it quickly. Large ice cubes melt slower to prevent dilution. Barista-style oat milk froths better and adds creaminess. Optional flavor boosters include cinnamon or vanilla extract. For less sweetness, reduce brown sugar or substitute with maple syrup or sugar alternatives. Can substitute espresso with cold brew concentrate or decaf versions.
