Save this recipe on:

Creamy, cozy, and lightly spiced, this Pumpkin Brown Sugar Autumn Spice Shaken Espresso With Oat Milk Twist is the ultimate fall coffee drink you didn’t know you needed. Think of a crisp morning, colorful leaves falling outside, and a chilled glass in hand swirling with espresso, warming spices, and nutty oat milk. It’s a barista-level brew made simple in your own kitchen.

This shaken espresso is not just about the caffeine kick—it’s an aromatic experience. A touch of real pumpkin, cinnamon, brown sugar, and clove rounds out the deep espresso with richness and warmth. The oat milk adds a velvety finish without overpowering the flavor. It’s easy, fast, and way better than the drive-thru.

What Kind of Espresso Should I Use?

The star of the drink is, of course, espresso. You can use a home espresso machine or strong brewed coffee from a stovetop Moka pot. Aim for bold, rich espresso shots. If you prefer a slightly less intense flavor, go with cold brew concentrate—it still offers depth without the bitterness.

Ingredients for the Pumpkin Brown Sugar Autumn Spice Shaken Espresso With Oat Milk Twist

• Espresso: The bold backbone of the drink, bringing the essential caffeine punch and depth.
• Pumpkin Puree: For a real autumn feel, a tablespoon of pure pumpkin gives seasonal richness.
• Brown Sugar: Adds caramel notes that pair perfectly with fall spices.
• Cinnamon and Clove: These warm spices make the espresso feel cozy and festive.
• Vanilla Extract: Just a dash balances the spice and enhances sweetness.
• Ice: Shaking with ice chills the espresso quickly and adds froth.
• Oat Milk: A creamy, dairy-free twist that complements the earthy pumpkin and spice.

How To Make the Pumpkin Brown Sugar Autumn Spice Shaken Espresso With Oat Milk Twist

Step 1: Brew Your Espresso

Brew 2 shots of espresso using your machine, stovetop Moka pot, or cold brew concentrate if preferred. Let it cool for 1–2 minutes before shaking.

Step 2: Add Pumpkin and Spices

In a cocktail shaker or mason jar with a lid, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, clove, and vanilla extract. Pour in the hot espresso and stir to dissolve the sugar.

Step 3: Shake With Ice

Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker. Seal it tightly and shake for 20–30 seconds until it’s chilled and frothy.

Step 4: Pour and Top With Oat Milk

Strain the shaken espresso into a glass filled with fresh ice. Pour oat milk over the top to taste, and give it a gentle swirl.
