Ingredients
Espresso Mixture
- 2 shots espresso or 3-4 ounces strong cold brew
- 1/2 tablespoon pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar simple syrup, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus more for the top
Other Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups ice
- 1/2 cup oat milk
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the espresso shots or cold brew coffee, pumpkin puree, brown sugar simple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice to a mason jar with a lid or a cocktail shaker. Ensure all ingredients are in the container to prepare for shaking.
- Shake Mixture: Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 20 seconds until the mixture is well combined and frothy, allowing the flavors to blend and chill with the ice inside.
- Pour Over Ice: Pour the shaken espresso mixture into a glass filled with 1 1/2 cups of ice to keep the drink refreshingly cold.
- Add Oat Milk: Top the drink with 1/2 cup oat milk to give a creamy finish and balance the bold espresso flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a light dusting of pumpkin pie spice on top for a spice-enhanced aroma and presentation, then enjoy your seasonal shaken espresso.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more brown sugar simple syrup if desired.
- For a dairy-free version, oat milk is recommended but feel free to use any plant-based milk.
- This drink is best served immediately while the ice is still cold.
- Use freshly brewed espresso or cold brew for the best flavor.
- If you don't have a cocktail shaker or mason jar, a tightly sealed jar or container can be used for shaking.
