Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 shots freshly brewed espresso cooled slightly
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar syrup
  • 1 cup oatmilk cold or room temperature
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Pinch of sea salt optional

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker with tight-fitting lid
  • Espresso machine or moka pot
  • Measuring spoons
  • Tall 16-ounce glass
  • Jigger or shot glass
  • Bar spoon or long-handled spoon
  • Ice maker or ice trays

Method
 

  1. Brew two shots of espresso using an espresso machine or Moka pot.
  2. Let the espresso cool for 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent the shaker from overheating.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar syrup to a cocktail shaker.
  4. Pour the cooled espresso into the shaker with the brown sugar syrup.
  5. Add 1 cup of cold oatmilk to the shaker.
  6. Fill the shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes, leaving space for shaking.
  7. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until frothy and chilled.
  8. Strain the mixture into a 16-ounce glass, pouring slowly to preserve the foam layer.
  9. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more brown sugar syrup or oatmilk if desired.

Notes

Make brown sugar syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to streamline preparation.
