Ingredients
- 2 shots of blonde espresso (or 2 oz strong brewed espresso/very strong coffee)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (light or dark; adjust to taste)
- 1 cup oat milk (barista-style oat milk preferred)
- Ice (enough to fill shaker and glass)
Instructions
- Brew two shots of blonde espresso (or make 2 oz of very strong coffee). Pour into a heatproof cup.
- Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar to the hot espresso and stir until the sugar fully dissolves. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Transfer the sweetened espresso into a cocktail shaker or any jar with a tight lid.
- Add a generous amount of ice to the shaker—enough to chill thoroughly.
- Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker feels very cold and the espresso is slightly frothy.
- Strain the shaken espresso into a glass filled with fresh ice.
- Slowly pour 1 cup oat milk on top to your preferred creaminess, then stir gently just once or twice to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Best consumed fresh for the signature frothy texture. Adjust sweetness according to taste preference.
