Trying sabrina’s brown sugar shakin’ espresso

Okay, seriously, if you haven't heard about Sabrina Carpenter's viral Dunkin' drink, where have you been?! I saw it all over my feed – everyone was *trying Sabrina's Brown Sugar Shakin' Espresso*, and I just had to get my hands on it. It’s this dreamy, sweet, and perfectly caffeinated concoction that's become my new obsession. Since the original post was just a quick shoutout, I wanted to dive deeper and share exactly how you can get your fix, whether you're heading to Dunkin' or want to whip up a delicious copycat at home. Trust me, it's worth the hype! So, first things first, if you're lucky enough to have a Dunkin' near you, getting this drink might be easier than you think! While it's not always an official menu item called 'Sabrina Carpenter's Drink,' it's essentially a custom order. Here’s what I usually ask for to get that perfect Brown Sugar Shakin' Espresso experience: I start with a regular Iced Shaken Espresso. Then, I ask them to swap out their classic syrup for Brown Sugar Syrup. Sometimes I also ask for a splash of oat milk or sweet cream cold foam on top, depending on my mood! The key is the 'shaken' aspect – it really blends everything beautifully and gives it that signature frothy texture. Don't be shy to customize; the baristas are usually happy to help you create your ideal drink! But what if you don't have a Dunkin' nearby, or you just love making your own coffee creations? No worries, I've got you! Crafting your own Sabrina Carpenter Brown Sugar Shakin' Espresso at home is surprisingly simple and tastes just as good, if not better, because you control the sweetness! This is my go-to recipe for when I'm craving that sweet, strong coffee kick. Ingredients: 2 shots (about 2 oz) of freshly brewed espresso (or strong coffee) 2 tablespoons brown sugar syrup (recipe below) 1/2 cup milk of your choice (oat, almond, or whole milk work great!) Ice Optional: a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream Homemade Brown Sugar Syrup: 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 cup water A pinch of salt (enhances flavor!) Combine sugar, water, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture thickens slightly. Let it cool before using. You can store this in the fridge for up to two weeks! Instructions: Brew Espresso: Brew your two shots of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use very strong coffee, perhaps made in a Moka pot or French press. Combine & Shake: In a shaker cup or a jar with a tight lid, combine the hot espresso, 2 tablespoons of your cooled brown sugar syrup, and a handful of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This is what creates that lovely frothy texture and cools the espresso quickly. Assemble: Fill a glass with more ice. Pour the shaken espresso mixture over the ice. Add Milk: Top with your preferred milk. Give it a gentle stir if you like, or just let the layers slowly meld together for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy: Add any optional toppings like cinnamon or whipped cream, and enjoy your perfectly crafted *Brown Sugar Shakin' Espresso*! It’s such a treat, and making it yourself is super satisfying. Honestly, trying Sabrina's Brown Sugar Shakin' Espresso has been a game-changer for my coffee routine. It’s sweet but not overly so, with that rich espresso kick, and the brown sugar adds such a comforting depth. Whether you grab it from Dunkin' or make it at home, this drink is a definite must-try for any coffee lover. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think!
