Starbucks has done it again! I have confirmed their new iced shaken espressos are as big of a deal as they make them out to be.
Creamy dairy-free milk poured over slightly sweet and vigorously shaken espresso over ice. What's not to love?! Well....the $6 price tag for one. Any maybe the lengthly line for two.
But don't fret, we can bring the coffee shop to your home (just like we did with my salted caramel oat milk latte and skinny peppermint mocha) with this copycat Starbucks iced oatmilk shaken espresso! It's just like the real deal but without the price tag and wait. It's a win-win situation.
Ingredient Notes
You only need a few simple ingredients to whip up this fancy new Starbucks iced oatmilk shaken espresso!
- Espresso - This is the base of the iced shaken espresso. If needed, strong cold brew coffee will work as well. Make sure the espresso or coffee is room temperature.
- Coconut sugar - To give a touch of sweetness to the coffee. The "real" Starbucks drink uses brown sugar which will work in this recipe too. I don't usually have brown sugar on hand so decided to make a coconut sugar version and it did not disappoint!
- Oat milk - Poured over the espresso beverage. Although I recommend oat milk as it has a delicious nutty flavor, any dairy-free milk is a good alternative.
Step by step directions
No fancy equipment required to make this copycat Starbucks iced oatmilk shaken espresso. All you need are a few kitchen staples and a cocktail shaker or airtight mason jar for shaking.
Step 1 : Dissolve the coconut sugar in the water
In a microwave safe glass, combine the water, coconut sugar, and cinnamon. Warm it up in the microwave in 8 second intervals. Stir in between to dissolve the coconut sugar.
Set aside and allow the mixture to cool down to room temperature.
Step 2 : Pour espresso over ice
Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar with ice. Pour the espresso (or cold brew) over top of the ice.
Step 3 : Add the coconut sugar mixture and vanilla
Next pour the cinnamon coconut sugar mixture over top of the espresso. Add the vanilla extract as well.
Step 4 : Shake (like, a lot)!
Place a lid on top of the mason jar or another cup over the cocktail shaker. Shake the jar up and down vigorously for at last 20 seconds. You should see a layer of foam develop at the top of the jar.
Step 5 : Pour over ice
Fill two glasses with ice. First pour in the shaken espresso mixture. Then top it off with the oat milk.
Grab a straw and enjoy!
Frequently asked questions
Yes, this elevated coffee drink can be premade. Simply follow the directions in the recipe card and store the drink in a glass in the fridge. Keep in mind, the drink will "settle" over time so there will not be the distinct layers of espresso and oat milk.
If needed, swap the oat milk for another dairy-free milk like almond or hazelnut milk.
Yes, brown sugar is what is used in the Starbucks drink. I don't typically have brown sugar on hand so I used coconut sugar which was equally as good (if not better IMO). I don't recommend using maple syrup as the consistency isn't great for iced drinks.
Cold brew or strong coffee will work as well! Just make sure it's room temperature and not too hot or it will melt the ice.
