A quick and easy copycat recipe for Starbucks’ iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso, delivering a creamy, lightly sweetened espresso drink with caramel notes and smooth oat milk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) oat milk, preferably barista-style
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh, firm ice cubes
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots (60 ml) of espresso using your preferred method. If no espresso machine, brew strong coffee concentrate with 2 tablespoons coffee grounds and ¼ cup (60 ml) water. Let cool slightly (1-2 minutes).
  2. In a shaker or Mason jar, add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and ½ cup (120 ml) oat milk. Stir or whisk briefly to begin dissolving the sugar.
  3. Pour the warm espresso into the oat milk and brown sugar mixture to help melt the sugar completely.
  4. Add about 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes to the shaker. Seal tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to chill and create frothy texture.
  5. Fill a glass with fresh ice cubes, then strain or pour the shaken espresso mixture over the ice.
  6. Optionally, stir in a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, sweet, and bold flavors.

Notes

Use fresh espresso shots for best flavor. Shake vigorously to create frothy texture. Use fresh, solid ice cubes to avoid dilution. Barista-style oat milk provides creamier texture. Warm oat milk slightly if sugar doesn’t dissolve fully. Can substitute espresso with cold brew concentrate or decaf espresso. Adjust sugar to taste for lower sweetness. Store leftovers in refrigerator up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
