Ingredients
2 shots of espresso (or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)
2 tablespoons brown sugar syrup
Ice cubes
1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative like oat milk, almond milk)
Optional: Cinnamon or vanilla extract (for extra flavor)
Instructions
Brew 2 shots of espresso (or make strong brewed coffee).
In a cocktail shaker, add the brewed espresso and brown sugar syrup.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to create a frothy texture.
Pour the shaken espresso into a tall glass filled with more ice.
Top with milk or your preferred dairy-free alternative, and stir gently to combine.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or add a dash of vanilla extract for additional flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso!
Notes
For a sweeter drink, add more brown sugar syrup or adjust according to your taste.
This recipe can easily be customized with different milk alternatives, such as coconut or soy milk, for a creamy texture without the dairy.
You can make your own brown sugar syrup by simmering equal parts brown sugar and water until dissolved. Add a pinch of cinnamon for a spiced version.
