Copycat Honeycrisp Apple Caramel Espresso Shaker
Crisp, creamy, and refreshing ... this is one drink you'll enjoy all year long!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2-3 large apples cut into small pieces Honeycrisp apples work best in this recipe
- 2-3 shots espresso depending on the size of your glass
- 1 teaspoon caramel flavor syrup
- 1/2 cup oat milk
- ice
Instructions
- Combine the brown sugar, water, and apples in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and allow to continue boiling for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes until apples are soft and sugar has been completely dissolved.
- Once the apples are soft, pour the mixture through a strainer positioned over a bowl. Use a spoon to crush the apples and remove as much juice as possible. Once you've removed as much juice as possible, pour the syrup into a jar and allow it to cool to room temperature. Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The syrup should be at least cooled to room temperature but ideally, ice cold when making this recipe because it will otherwise melt the ice during the "shaken" process.
- Pull 2 shots of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, follow the instructions for making the equivalent here.
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the espresso shots, 2 teaspoons of the apple syrup, and the caramel flavor syrup. Shake for 2 minutes.
- Fill a glass with ice and pour in the shaken espresso. Finish with a splash of milk and enjoy!
