It’s like sipping on dessert—cozy, spiced, and smooth—all while still getting that espresso kick you love.

    This recipe is simple, elegant, and a little indulgent—the perfect fall coffee to shake up at home.

    A glass of iced coffee with a straw sits on an outdoor table. Perfect for summer refreshment.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    For the shaken espresso:

    • 2 shots freshly brewed espresso (or ½ cup strong coffee)
    • 2 tbsp apple butter (smooth and spiced)
    • Ice (for shaking)

    For the brown butter cold foam:

    • 2 tbsp heavy cream
    • 2 tbsp milk
    • 1 tbsp brown sugar
    • 1 tsp butter
    • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
    • Graham cracker to garnish

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Make the brown butter

    • In a small saucepan, melt 1 tsp unsalted butter over medium heat until golden brown and stir in the brown sugar.
    • Set aside to cool slightly.

    2. Brew your espresso

    • Pull two shots of espresso (or use very strong brewed coffee).

    3. Shake it up

    • In a cocktail shaker or mason jar, add espresso, apple butter, and a handful of ice.
    • Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until chilled and frothy.

    4. Make the cold foam

    • In a separate glass, whip together heavy cream, milk, browned butter, and a pinch of cinnamon with a frother until thick and foamy.

    I recommend THIS handheld frother. It’s durable, rechargeable, easy to use, and has done wonders for my personal coffee creations and experimentations.
