Hello my lovelies ✨✨✨
It's your friendly local (or not idk) barista, here to give you a fun new way to drink horrific amounts of caffeine.
I don't know if you enjoy Starbucks, but I do not! The fun part about working in a coffeeshop is the strange bonding of collectively bashing it, but still buying it because we are all hypocrites.
However, as of late, I have been an unashamed fan of the brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso there, in fact, I'd go so far as to say I love it and spend way too much money on it weekly.
Unfortunately, the coffeeshop I work and make myself free coffee at, does not have the ingredients nor the tools for my favorite drink, so I improvise.
All this to say, here's how to make a decent dupe. (I feel like the super long useless stories you have to scroll past to get to like a chocolate chip cookie recipe or something. I'm just dramatic)
I don't have brown sugar, but since brown sugar is just sugar and molasses, I'll be using a honey packet!
And because I looked it up, I know there's cinnamon in the drink, so I add a health dose of cinnamon to my honey at the base of my cup.
I then add two pumps of vanilla. There's vanilla in the og recipe, but I'm using two pumps because I don't have blonde shots like in the real drink. Blonde shots are significantly sweeter than regular espresso shots (especially ours) so this will compensate.
I then add my oatmilk and the three shots. I mix, then here's the funky part.
I am not a bartender, so I do not have the fancy metal drink mixy thingy. But that's how the drink is made and gets that delicate foam on top.
So. I take my plastic cup with the mixture, add ice, then take a paper cup and flip it upside down, insert it into the mouth of the first cup, and keep them firmly pressed together. Then I shake like hell while attempting to not lose my grip and spill coffee everywhere.
If you shake enough and gave plenty of money ice, it'll have a gorgeous oatmilk foam on top.
And you're all set once you add a dash of cinnamon to the tippy top.
Enjoy, or at least enjoy reading my dumb little recipe

Fuck it, you can poison my water
Send me to Davy's Locker
But you're gonna need a damn good lawyer
'Cause I'm worth my weight in gold, worth my weight in gold
24k never gonna fade a day
Ingurgitate all your negative energy
I should hate this but I'll break it to you
I'm still worth my weight in gold, worth my weight in gold
