Iced Brown Sugar OatMilk Shaken Espresso
What is a shaken espresso?
A shaken espresso is simply a drink made with espresso, sweetener, and ice tossed into a shaker or mason jar and shaken until it foams. It’s pretty fun and super easy to make!
How to make Brown Simple Syrup?
Starbucks Brown Sugar Syrup Recipe
The brown simple syrup takes less than 5 minutes to prepare and is made with 3 simple ingredients: Brown Sugar, Water, and Vanilla Extract. You simply add the ingredients to a small saucepan, stir, bring it to a simmer, then remove it from the heat and let it cool before using.
You can even make a large batch so that you can use it whenever you like! Just be sure to store it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge.
Here’s what you need to make this Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso
Brown Simple Syrup: Made with brown sugar, water, and vanilla extract. You can easily double or triple the recipe to make more and leave it in the fridge so you can use it whenever you need it! If you want to make this refined sugar-free, you can try coconut sugar. I haven’t tried that yet but I’m sure it’d be delicious!
Espresso: You can use 2-3 shots of espresso OR very strong coffee. Starbucks Blonde Espresso is typically used to make this drink.
Oat Milk: Unsweetened oat milk works best. Starbucks uses Oatly Brand Oat Milk, but you can use whichever oat milk you prefer. If you want to go the extra mile, you can even make your own oat milk from scratch using my 5-minute Homemade Oat Milk Recipe!
Ice: You’ll need to fill a mason jar or shaker with ice to mix the drink. You’ll also need a bit more ice to pour the shaken drink over.
Cocktail Shaker or Mason Jar: If you do not have a cocktail shaker at home, you can use a jar with a lid or wide-mouth bottle.
I like to make this Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso Recipe in large batches and keep it in the fridge so it’s handy. It saves me a ton of time and all I need to do is grab a glass, fill it with ice, pour my prepared brown sugar espresso drink, and enjoy it! It saves me quite a bit of money AND it tastes just as good as ordering one from Starbucks!

I’m a fan of all things coffee. The name of this drink had me wondering what it would taste like. I have one word to describe it – Divine. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tamara! I am happy you enjoyed the recipe!
This was perfect!!!!!! I loved how the sweetness was balanced out by the mild bitterness of the espresso! The flavor is so good and this is my current addiction!
YAY! I am so happy you enjoy the recipe, Kaluhi!
So simple! I followed your recipe exactly and never need to stop at the coffee shop again.
This was SO good! I’ve been craving these and all the Starbucks around here are sold out of oat milk. Perfect copycat. I’d actually say it’s better than the original!
Thank you, Krystal! I am happy you enjoyed the recipe! And thank you for leaving a review!
So amazing. I tried one at Starbucks and was instantly addicted. Now I can make it at home! Yum! Thank you for sharing this.
Hi Kim! I am so glad you like the recipe!
What a perfect time to have stumbled across this recipe. Just bought loads of filter coffee powder on sale online and then started to feel guilty about it. I guess it was a calling for this recipe. Since I cannot pull this recipe as perfectly as you, I sadly have to settle with a subpar version of my efforts, haha. Thanks for sharing.
This coffee is so good! I think it is better than Starbucks, cannot wait to make it for my husband!
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe! And thank you for sharing pictures with me on Instagram! It looked delish!
Perfect recipe for my favorite drink! Thank you! 🙂
Hi Abigail! I am so glad you like!
Omg, so good! Thank you! This is my favorite Starbucks drink and I’m so glad I can make it at home now!
Hi Ali! It’s one of my favs too!! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe!
Thank you for the recipe!! I love it! I’ve been making it everyday for the past week!
This recipe is so good!! It tastes even better than Starbucks and it’s nice that I can make it at home.
Hi Ariana! I am so glad you like! Thanks for leaving a review!
This recipe is AMAZING!!!!! Definitely will be my go to from here on in! I just have two questions. I saw the recipe uses vanilla extract but I didn’t see it in the instructions. I poured it into the brown sugar mixture while it was heating. Did I do that correctly? Also, if I make the brown sugar syrup ahead of time, how long can I store it in the fridge for?
Hi Desiree! I am glad you like the recipe! And yes, you most certainly did it right. I’ll make sure to add that to the instructions. You can store your simple syrup in an air right container for 2-3 weeks! Thanks for leaving a comment.
How do you prepare this in bulk? Thanks!
Hi Sara! You can double, or even triple the brown sugar simple syrup recipe so that you can use it whenever you like! Just be sure to store it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge. When you’re ready to make your drink in the morning, prepare it in a shaker or mason jar like normal.
You can also try making the drink completely. Then, remove the ice and keep the drink stored in an airtight mason jar in the fridge. It’ll probably need another good shake when you’re ready to enjoy it.
I found this recipe a few months ago, it tastes exactly like Starbucks! Came back again today to make it and ended up initially finding the incorrect recipe. I was so happy that I found your blog because there’s no other recipe out there that matches the Starbucks one except for yours.
Hi Jez! I am happy to hear that you like the recipe and find it closely matches the Starbucks drink! Thanks for leaving a review!
Absolutely divine—perfect amount of sweetness (not at all overwhelming) and a total dupe for Starbucks’! This is easily a new family favorite; thanks so much for sharing!
Hi Sophie! I am so happy you enjoy the recipe! Thank you so much for leaving a review! And, Happy New Year!
Wow, this is really good. Thanks for the recipe.
Tastes very good and super close to the original. Would recommend using only half the brown sugar syrup if you like your drink a little darker as the syrup is very sweet. Also I have a question, how do you have it as 84 calories per serving with that much brown sugar?
Tastes just like Starbucks for MUCH less money. I used swerve brown sugar replacement and it turned out just as delicious!! I will definitely be making a big batch of the simple syrup so I can have this drink anytime!
I am so glad you like the recipe! Making a large batch of the simple syrup is a great idea! You’ll save even more time making the drink. Thanks for leaving a review!
