Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder
- 4 ounces Espresso (freshly brewed) Blonde Roast is very popular with this drink but is completely optional
- Milk/Creamer Any milk of your choice will do, oatmilk is the most popular
Instructions
- To begin with the construction of this delicious morning pick-me-up, you will first need to measure out your espresso. For a sweeter taste and stronger kick, try out blonde espresso roast. Despite it being a lighter and sweeter tasting roast, it actually has more caffeine than your standard espresso roast. Barista Tip: As someone who really enjoys the flavor of cinnamon, I like to add cinnamon into my coffee filter with the espresso for a stronger hint of that flavor.
- Next, sprinkle out 1 tablespoon of cinnamon powder and then measure out 2 teaspoons of brown sugar to add into your shaker. Depending on how sweet you like your drinks, feel free to add more or less brown sugar.
- After all of this is prepped, you will begin brewing the espresso straight into the shaker and let all of these ingredients combine.
- Once your espresso is finished brewing, you will add a generous amount of ice into the shaker in order to cool your espresso and prevent the ice from melting. Give all of that a good shake (count to 10 shakes as an easy memory tip) and empty the contents into your favorite glass.
- The final step is to add a splash of your favorite milk or creamer and fill up the rest of your glass.
- All that’s left to do is stir it up and enjoy! You will be on your way in about 5 minutes with this short, simple recipe and be ready for anything life throws at you!

FAQs
Shaking the espresso elevates your drink from the everyday latte by adding a thicker, frothier texture to your coffee for a smoother, easier sip.
A shaken espresso differs from a latte in that it uses much less milk. Shaken espressos typically have more ice and by shaking the drink and creating the layer of froth, it fills more of the glass than a typical latte.Â
The best part about shaken espressos is that they can be crafted with any combination of your liking. They are delicious with milk, alternative milks, breve, creamer, and any assortment of flavors.
