You will love this Starbucks Shaken Espresso copycat recipe

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.

Iced Shaken Espresso ingredients

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.

How to make a Shaken Espresso

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 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.

Oatmilk Shaken Espresso variations

There are many ways to add your own twist to a shaken espresso. Here are a few of my favorites;

  • Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to the shaker for a chocolatey flavor.
  • Add a dollop of caramel sauce to the shaker for a caramel twist. You can also use the caramel to drizzle inside your coffee glass.
  • A tablespoon of orange juice and a pop of orange zest in the shaker will give the coffee drink a bright citrus flavor.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of chai concentrate to the shaker for a shaken dirty chai latte.

Shaken Espresso Starbucks FAQs

Can I make this copycat Starbucks iced oatmilk shaken espresso ahead of time?

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.

How can I substitute the oat milk?

If needed, swap the oat milk for another dairy-free milk like almond or hazelnut milk.

Can I substitute the coconut sugar?

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.

What if I don't have espresso?

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.
