Iced Coconut Sugar Shaken Espresso

This iced coconut sugar shaken espresso is the at-home version of the iconic Starbucks brown sugar shaken espresso. But with better ingredients and refined sugar-free!!

The base of this drink is espresso (duh), coconut sugar, vanilla bean, and salt (which draws out even more flavor from the espresso). It’s a myriad of flavors that marry so well together!

What You’ll Need for this Coconut Sugar Shaken Espresso 

Everything you’ll need for this coconut sugar shaken espresso!

• Espresso – I make a double shot.
• House Blend Nut Milk – I use this for everything, it’s amazing!!
• Coconut sugar – instead of using brown sugar, I opted to use coconut sugar to make this refined sugar-free. Feel free to use light brown sugar if you prefer.
• Ceylon cinnamon – this is in the original Starbucks brown sugar shaken espresso, but you can omit it if you prefer.
• Ground vanilla or vanilla bean paste – vanilla extract also works well.
• Kosher salt or flaky salt – my entire family used to think I was crazy to add salt to my drinks, but it really brings out the espresso flavor plus it helps your body retain essential minerals.

Description

This iced coconut sugar shaken espresso is the at-home version of the iconic Starbucks brown sugar shaken espresso. But with better ingredients and refined sugar-free!!

---

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• Double shot espresso (about 42 g)
• 1 tbsp (10 g) coconut sugar (use 2 tbsp if you want it sweeter)*
• 1/8 tsp ground vanilla or vanilla bean paste (sub with vanilla extract)
• 1/8 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp ceylon cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 cup (110 g) house blend nut milk or any creamy milk
• Lots of ice

---

Instructions

1. Add the espresso, coconut sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon to a jar. Swirl or stir to dissolve the sugar. Dump in about 1 handful of ice (about 8 small ice cubes), tightly screw on the jar’s lid, and shake vigorously until foamy. I usually shake the espresso for about 1 minute to get tons of foam and ensure the sugar granules are dissolved. 
2. Fill your cup/jar with another handful of ice, pour over the espresso mixture along with the milk, stir and enjoy!
