Ingredients
  

espresso
  • 3 espresso Freshly brewed shots
  • 1 ice cubes 1 cup for shaking; more for serving
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar For sweetness and syrupy texture
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon For warm spiced flavor
  • 0.75 cup oat milk Creamy finish
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract Optional

Equipment

  • 1 cocktail shaker
  • 1 tall glass

Method
 

Brew the espresso
  1. Brew 3 shots of espresso until freshly brewed and hot.
  2. Pour the hot espresso into a cocktail shaker or mason jar along with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Shake and chill
  1. Stir briefly until the brown sugar begins to dissolve and the cinnamon is evenly dispersed.
  2. Add 1 cup ice cubes to the shaker and seal it tightly.
  3. Shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds until frothy and chilled.
Assemble and serve
  1. Fill a tall glass with fresh ice cubes.
  2. Pour the shaken espresso mixture over the ice.
  3. Add 3/4 cup oat milk, then stir gently if desired.
  4. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best froth, shake until the drink feels cold to the touch (20–30 seconds) before pouring over fresh ice. Store any leftovers covered in the fridge up to 24 hours; ice and texture will soften, so re-shake with a little fresh ice if you can. Freezing is not recommended because separation will be noticeable. For a dairy-free swap, use additional oat milk (or barista-style oat milk) if you prefer a richer, creamier result.
