If you swoon for the brown sugar and oat milk shaken espresso from Starbucks, you will love this copycat version you can make at home. This version is so easy you can shake it up in a matter of minutes when you need a caffeine fix in the morning or a sweet pick-me-up in the afternoon.
Baristas will use a brown sugar syrup to make this in the coffee shops, but there’s no need to take the time to make and then cool a homemade simple syrup. Instead, all you have to do is dissolve some brown sugar in warm, brewed espresso and the sweet flavor becomes infused into the beverage.
A shaken espresso drink is made a lot like your favorite cocktail. The ingredients are combined in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and then shaken vigorously until foamy and chilled. The delicious mixture of espresso, brown sugar, and cinnamon is then poured over ice and topped with chilled oat milk. The drink will be layered once you add the oat milk for a beautiful presentation. Simply give it a stir with your straw to combine just before sipping.
These drinks can be made one at a time or you can double or triple the batch to have some on hand for later. The result is smooth and creamy with a touch of warm sweetness.
