Hey coffee folks—want to mix things up a bit? Check out our Octave Shaken Espresso Recipe. It’s got all the bold flavor you love from Octave Coffee, just with a little extra shake (literally).
What You'll Need:
- 2 tablespoons homemade brown sugar syrup infused with cinnamon and a hint of vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg for that extra spice
- 2 shots of premium Octave Espresso
- 1/3-1/2 cup of your preferred milk
- Ice cubes for that refreshing chill
- Shaker or shaker bottle for the essential shake
- Your favorite mug or glass for the final presentation
Let's Get Shakin':
1. Make the Cinnamon Syrup:
In a small saucepan, mix brown sugar, a splash of vanilla extract, and a good pinch of ground cinnamon. Heat it up until everything’s dissolved. Set it aside to cool.
2. Brew Your Espresso:
Pull two shots of Octave Espresso using your espresso machine. That rich, bold smell? Yeah, that’s the good stuff.
3. Add Ice to Your Shaker:
Toss in a handful of ice cubes... ice down the drink and give it that nice shaken texture.
4. Combine the Ingredients:
Pour your cinnamon syrup, a dash of nutmeg, and the espresso into the shaker.
5. Shake It Up:
Pop the lid on and shake well for about 10–15 seconds until it’s nice and frothy.
6. Pour It Out:
Strain the drink into your favorite glass.
7. Add Milk:
Pour in about 1/3 cup of milk (or more if you like it creamier). Give it a little stir.
8. Optional Topping:
If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top.
