Starbucks Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso Copycat Recipe

Starbucks shaken espresso drink with brown sugar and oat milk is easy to make at home. This recipe recreates the drink using the exact same recipe Starbucks baristas use!

Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

A hand-shaken drink, the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is made with Blonde espresso, brown sugar syrup, cinnamon, and ice. The drink is then topped with oat milk.

Blonde espresso is a lightly roasted coffee that’s smoother and less intense than the Starbucks signature dark roast espresso. Blonde espresso contains more caffeine.

The Shaken Espresso drinks all contain an additional shot of espresso than other espresso drinks like lattes. A grande Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso contains 3 shots of espresso.

Ingredient Notes

• Blonde espresso
  Use Starbucks Blonde espresso Nespresso capsules or a light roast espresso like Voltesso.
• Brown sugar syrup
  Use store-bought or homemade brown sugar syrup. It’s super easy to make at home, so make a batch to add to iced drinks all week.
• Oat milk
  Starbucks uses Oatly oat milk, which I find to be creamier and tastier than other oat milks.
• Ground cinnamon
  A little cinnamon is added to the drink to give it a little mild spice flavor.
• Ice
  If possible, make ice using filtered water for better tasting ice.

Step-by-Step Instructions

For full ingredients and instructions, scroll down to the recipe.

1. Put brown sugar syrup, blonde espresso, cinnamon, and ice into a cocktail shaker. Shake.
   Use 3 Nespresso blonde espresso pods or pull 3 shots from an espresso machine. If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, use a jar with a tight lid.
2. Pour drink into a cup.
3. Add oat milk.
   Top off with more ice if needed.

Nespresso Notes

Espresso is easy and mess-free to make at home using a Nespresso machine.

1 shot of espresso = 1 Nespresso espresso capsule

There are 3 shots of blonde espresso in a grande Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espressoso, so you’ll need 3 Nespresso Starbucks blonde espresso capsules.

Starbucks and Nespresso partnered on the Starbucks capsules so you won’t void the warranty by using them, unlike other 3rd party capsules.

You can also use any Nespresso light roast espresso capsules.

Expert Tips

• If you don’t have a way to make espresso, you can use blonde roast instant coffee. Combine 1 ½ tablespoons of instant coffee and ⅓ cup hot water to replace the 3 shots of espresso in the recipe.
• Starbucks makes the drink with a splash of oat milk (about ¼ cup) but feel free to add a little more to your liking.
• Instead of oat milk, top off your drink with cold foam! It’s super easy to make at home.
