Apple Crisp Shaken Espresso

Fall in a cup, but make it fresh.

Cozy cinnamon warmth meets the vibrant, tart snap of Granny Smith apples. Sweet, but perfectly balanced to let that fresh fruit brightness shine through, this iced shaken espresso pairs warm baking spices with rich seasonal coffee and velvety oat milk. Creamy, crisp, and seriously delicious. It is the ultimate drink to add to your fall coffee rotation.

Ingredients

Fresh ice cubes
2 pumps Cinnamon Syrup
2 pumps Granny Smith Apple Syrup
1 double shot espresso (we love Detour’s Sweater Weather)
Ground cinnamon (for extracting and dusting)
¾ cup Barista Oat Milk

Barista Tips

Coffee Selection Matters: A seasonal medium roast with chocolate, nutty, or caramel notes is key to cutting through the tart green apple without losing that rich espresso punch.

Shake for That Silky Head: Give the syrups, hot espresso, and ice a vigorous 15-second shake. Chilling the espresso fast emulsifies the sugars, giving you that velvety, café-style micro-foam before the milk even touches it.

Dial In Your Sweetness: Prefer a coffee-forward kick? Start with just 1 pump each of Cinnamon and Granny Smith syrup. It keeps the crisp apple finish bright without overpowering the blend. Out of Cinnamon syrup? Caramel syrup makes a fantastic substitute. It turns the drink into a decadent caramel-apple latte that pairs just as smoothly with the espresso.
