Equipment

  • Coffee maker or espresso machine
  • Milk frother or saucepan
  • Measuring spoons
  • Coffee mug

Ingredients

  • 1–2 shots espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1–2 tsp Dark brown sugar (packed)
  • ¼ tsp bourbon extract (or bourbon-flavored syrup)
  • ¾ cup milk (whole, oat, or almond)

Instructions

  • Brew espresso or strong coffee and pour it into a mug while hot.
  • Stir in brown sugar until fully dissolved to create a smooth, rich base.
  • Add bourbon extract (or syrup) and vanilla extract if using. Stir gently.
  • Heat and froth the milk until warm and creamy, avoiding boiling.
  • Pour milk over the coffee mixture, stir lightly, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Dark brown sugar provides deeper caramel flavor than light brown sugar
  • Bourbon extract delivers flavor without alcohol
  • Use oat milk for extra warmth and natural sweetness
  • Start with less bourbon flavor and adjust gradually
  • For iced versions, dissolve sugar in hot coffee first
  • Best enjoyed fresh for optimal aroma and texture
