Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots (about 2 oz / 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso (or strong brewed coffee/cold brew concentrate)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons brown sugar (dark or light)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) chilled oat milk
- Ice cubes (enough to fill shaker or glass)
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
- Optional: splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Brew 2 shots (about 2 oz / 60 ml) of fresh espresso or prepare 2 oz of very strong coffee or cold brew concentrate. Let cool slightly (about 2 minutes).
- In a cocktail shaker or sealed jar, combine the warm espresso with 1 to 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and fill with about 1 cup (240 ml) of ice cubes.
- Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to dissolve the sugar and aerate the espresso, creating a frothy texture.
- Fill a tall glass halfway with fresh ice.
- Strain or pour the shaken espresso over the fresh ice in the glass, forming a frothy layer on top.
- Slowly pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) of chilled oat milk over the espresso to create a marbled effect.
- Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top or add a cinnamon stick for stirring.
- Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
Notes
Use warm, not hot, espresso to avoid melting ice too quickly. Shake vigorously to create froth and dissolve sugar. Use fresh solid ice cubes for best chill without dilution. Pour oat milk slowly for a marbled effect. Adjust brown sugar to taste. Oat milk preferred for creaminess and subtle sweetness; almond milk can be substituted but will alter flavor and texture.
