Starbucks Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso

What is a shaken espresso?

A shaken espresso is a coffee drink made with espresso, sweetener, and ice tossed into a shaker or mason jar and shaken until it foams. You can then add your favorite non-dairy milk to the shaken espresso to make a delicious drink.

What Is In The iced Brown Sugar 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. Cold brew coffee is also a great option if you do not have espresso available to you.
• 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 mason jar with a lid or wide-mouth bottle.

How To Make Starbucks Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso With Oat milk?

1. Add the espresso (or coffee), cinnamon, brown sugar simple syrup, and cinnamon into a mason jar or shaker filled with ice.
2. Shake the drink until it is cold, frothy, and well mixed, about 30 seconds.
3. Pour over the shaken espresso over ice and top with oat milk. Stir to combine and Enjoy!

I like to make the brown sugar simple syrup 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, my espresso and oat milk, and quickly prepare my brown sugar espresso drink! It saves me quite a bit of money AND it tastes just as good as ordering this Starbucks drink from a barista!

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.

How to make Brown Sugar Syrup?

1. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add brown sugar and cold water and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat to low and stir constantly until the sugar completely dissolves.
3. Let the simple syrup simmer for 5-10 minutes. The longer the syrup simmers, the thicker it will become once cooled.
4. Remove the simple syrup from the heat, stir in vanilla extract (optional), and let it cool.
5. Use it as desired, and store any remaining simple syrup in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

How To Make This Starbucks Ice Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso Recipe If You Do Not Have Espresso?

If you do not have an espresso machine at home, you can still enjoy this tasty drink! If you have a french press, you can make your own espresso using freshly ground coffee beans. You can also use cold brew coffee for a similar taste and effect or you can brew Starbucks® by Nespresso® Blonde Espresso Roast.

Pictured above is the espresso machine I use at home. I love the professional coffee shop look of the machine, yet it is so easy to use. You can find the Brim 19 Espresso Machine On Amazon!
