Iced Oat Milk Mocha (Double Shot)

Prep Time: 2 Minutes (Basically just brewing your espresso!)
Assembly Time: 1 Minute
Total Time: Under 5 Minutes! (Seriously, that quick!)
Yield: 1 Perfect Serving

Ingredients

  • 2 shots (2 oz / approx. 60ml) freshly brewed espresso (or 2 oz very strong brewed coffee)

  • 1 cup (8 oz / approx. 240ml) oat milk, chilled (barista-style recommended for extra creaminess!)

  • 2 tablespoons chocolate sauce (use a good quality one you love!), plus extra for drizzling (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup or your preferred sweetener (adjust to taste)

  • 1 cup ice cubes (or more, to fill your glass)



Instructions

  1. Brew Your Base: Brew your 2 shots (2 oz) of espresso or make 2 oz of very strong coffee. Let it be hot for this step!

  2. Build Your Flavor Foundation: In a tall glass (around 12-16 oz capacity), add 1 cup of ice cubes.

  3. Pour the 2 tablespoons of chocolate sauce directly over the ice.

  4. Add the 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup or your chosen sweetener over the chocolate and ice.

  5. The Magic Pour & Stir: Pour the hot espresso (or strong coffee) directly over the ice, chocolate, and vanilla. The heat from the espresso will help the chocolate melt a bit and combine beautifully. Give it a good stir with a long spoon to ensure the chocolate and vanilla are well mixed with the coffee.

  6. Creamy Oat Milk Finish: Top with the 1 cup of chilled oat milk. Stir again gently until everything is beautifully combined and the drink is a lovely mocha color.

  7. Optional Drizzle & Serve: If you're feeling a little extra (and why not?), drizzle a bit more chocolate sauce on top or around the inside of the glass before pouring.

  8. Serve immediately with a straw and prepare to be utterly refreshed and delighted! Enjoy your homemade café masterpiece!

Equipment (What I Use & Recommend)

  • Espresso Machine or Coffee Brewer

  • Tall Glass (12-16 oz)

  • Long Spoon or Stirrer

  • Measuring Spoons & Cup


Tips & FAQs for Your Perfect Iced Mocha!

  • Oat Milk Matters (Especially Barista Style!): For that ultra-creamy, coffee shop texture, barista-style oat milk is fantastic as it’s designed to froth and mix well without separating. However, any good quality oat milk will still be delicious!

  • Espresso vs. Strong Coffee: Freshly brewed espresso will give you the most authentic and robust coffee flavor. If you don't have an espresso machine, brew your coffee double-strength or use a concentrated cold brew.

  • Chocolate Choices: Use your favorite chocolate sauce! Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even a white chocolate sauce could be fun variations. Good quality sauce makes a big difference.

  • Sweetness Control: Adjust the vanilla syrup or sweetener to your personal preference. You can use maple syrup, agave, or even just a simple sugar syrup. Taste and tweak!

  • Extra Indulgence: Want to take it over the top? Add a dollop of whipped cream (or dairy-free whipped topping) before that final chocolate drizzle!

  • Flavor Twists & Boosts: Don't be afraid to experiment! A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg stirred into the drink can add a lovely warmth. For a fantastic breakfast or post-workout boost, try adding a scoop of your favorite chocolate or vanilla protein powder.

  • Milk Flexibility for Your Mocha: While oat milk is fantastic for that signature creaminess and a dairy-free option, feel free to experiment! Regular dairy milk, almond, soy, or coconut milk will also create a delicious iced mocha. Just note that the taste and texture might vary slightly depending on your choice.

  • Go Decaf Without Sacrificing Flavor: Craving that mocha taste without the caffeine buzz? No problem! This drink is just as delightful made with your favorite decaf espresso or strongly brewed decaf coffee. You'll get all the rich flavor, perfectly chilled.

Serving Ideas – Make it a Moment!
This Iced Oat Milk Mocha is a treat in itself, but why not:

  • Pair it with a freshly baked croissant or a muffin for a delightful breakfast or brunch.

  • Enjoy it with a couple of chocolate chip cookies for an ultimate afternoon indulgence.

  • Sip it slowly while you read a good book or catch up on your favorite show.
