Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

espresso
  • 2 shots espresso, chilled Use fully chilled espresso for best froth.
brown sugar apple syrup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar apple syrup Provides the apple-caramel sweetness.
cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon Adds apple-crisp warmth.
oatmilk
  • 1 cup oatmilk For topping and a creamy iced base.
cold foam
  • 0.25 cup cold foam or whipped oatmilk Optional but recommended for the signature ivory cap.

Equipment

  • 1 cocktail shaker

Method
 

Shake the espresso
  1. Add chilled espresso, brown sugar apple syrup, cinnamon, and a handful of ice to a cocktail shaker.
  2. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds at a hard, continuous pace until frothy and well combined.
Assemble and top
  1. Fill a glass with fresh ice and pour in the shaken espresso mixture.
  2. Pour oatmilk over the top of the ice and espresso base.
  3. Finish with a layer of cold foam or whipped oatmilk on top.

Notes

Pro tip: shake the mixture for the full 15–20 seconds—this is what builds the frothy texture. Best served immediately after assembling. Store leftover espresso mixture in the fridge up to 24 hours (foam may thin); freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free/vegan-friendly swap, choose a fully dairy-free cold foam and oatmilk (already vegan if labeled as such).
