Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1: Brew the Espresso and Add to Ice

  • Brew 2 shots of blonde espresso. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice and pour the hot espresso over the ice.

Step 2: Add the Syrup and Cinnamon

  • Add the apple brown sugar syrup and ground cinnamon.

Step 3: Shake the Espresso

  • Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds, or until the shaker is very cold and the espresso is frothy.

Step 4: Assemble and Serve

  • Pour the shaken espresso and ice into a serving glass. Top with the oat milk and serve immediately. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso: Add the espresso to the shaker while it's fresh and hot so the ice can rapidly chill it as you shake.
  • Use plenty of ice: Starting with plenty of ice helps chill the hot espresso quickly without leaving the finished drink warm and overly diluted.
  • Add the oat milk last: Shake the espresso, syrup, cinnamon, and ice first, then finish with oat milk to preserve the frothy texture and layered appearance.
  • Adjust the syrup to taste: Two tablespoons gave us the apple flavor and sweetness we preferred, but homemade and bottled syrups can vary in strength, so adjust as needed.
  • Use a secure shaker: Hot espresso can create pressure inside a closed container. Use a cocktail shaker or heat-safe jar with a secure lid, hold it firmly, and open it carefully after shaking.
