4.8 from 84 reviews

This Starbucks Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso recipe is a deliciously refreshing coffee drink that combines rich espresso shots with the sweetness of brown sugar and the creaminess of oat milk.

Ingredients

Scale

Brown Sugar Syrup

  • 1 tbsp packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp hot water
  • Pinch of cinnamon

Espresso and Milk

  • 12 shots espresso
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened oat milk
  • Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Make Brown Sugar Syrup: In a mason jar, combine the brown sugar, hot water, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a smooth syrup base for the drink.
  2. Add Espresso and Shake: Brew one to two shots of espresso and pour the strong coffee over the syrup in the mason jar. Add about 1/2 cup or a handful of ice cubes into the jar. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for one full minute to chill and mix the espresso and syrup thoroughly.
  3. Finish with Oat Milk: Remove the jar lid and add a few more ice cubes if desired. Pour in 1/2 cup of unsweetened oat milk over the shaken espresso mixture. Stir gently to combine everything evenly, then serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing homemade Starbucks-style shaken espresso.

Notes

  • Use dark brown sugar for a deeper, richer flavor.
  • Adjust the number of espresso shots based on preferred coffee strength.
  • Unsweetened oat milk keeps the drink creamy yet light and dairy-free.
  • Shake vigorously to create a frothy, well-mixed texture.
  • Add cinnamon to taste for a subtle warm spice note.
