Save your money and make this Starbucks-inspired iced brown sugar shaken espresso at home! No syrups or espresso machine is required.
While it may be hot outside, the fall season is right around the corner! To cool down and get into the autumn mood, I love making this Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. It’s the perfect mix of cinnamon, brown sugar, and creamy coffee.
Ingredients for this Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso:
- 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 3 Blonde Espresso Shots (or 1/2 cup of Cold Brew Coffee)
- 1/3 cup Oat Milk
- Ice, to serve – One of the most frequent questions I get is how I make my pellet ice. I don’t have any fancy machines, I just use this ice tray I got on Amazon. It comes with 4 ice trays, a scoop, and a convenient box to store the ice. I love using this ice when I’m making a mocktail or iced latte.

How to make brown sugar syrup:
You don’t need any fancy ingredients or kitchen tools to make brown sugar syrup at home! In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of water. Microwave it for 1 minute and the sugar should be fully dissolved. As it cools down it will slightly thicken.
This will give you enough syrup for one shaken espresso. You can make a bigger batch of this using a 1:1 ratio and storing it in an air-tight jar in the fridge.

Love this recipe! Tastes just like what you get at the large coffee shop that we all know. Only it’s better because you can control how much sweetness goes in your drink and you don’t have to pay through the roof for it!
Kim, I’m stoked to hear that you love the recipe! Happy you can save money and make it taste even better at home🤎 Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share your thoughts.
All the best,

I love to make this drink and this recipe is great with how quick to make the brown sugar syrup. I have another trick- use real maple syrup. It’s more expensive and changes the taste, but it’s very delicious and super quick to make!
