About Brown sugar shaken espresso

The Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso is a popular coffee beverage known for its bold espresso flavor combined with the caramel-like sweetness of brown sugar. It originates from modern café culture, heavily influenced by Italian coffee traditions, but has gained widespread popularity globally, particularly in the U.S. This drink is typically made by combining espresso shots, brown sugar syrup, ice, and a splash of milk (often plant-based alternatives). Nutritionally, it is calorie-dense due to the sugar content and provides a moderate amount of caffeine (approximately 150 mg per 12-ounce serving, depending on espresso strength). While it offers a quick source of energy, it is low in other essential vitamins and minerals. The exact nutritional profile varies with the recipe, but it generally contains around 100-200 calories per serving, little protein, and higher carbohydrate (sugar) levels.

Health Benefits

• Provides a quick energy boost due to caffeine from espresso, which can enhance focus and alertness.
• Brown sugar contains traces of minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, though in minimal amounts.
• May improve workout endurance due to caffeine's ability to stimulate the central nervous system and enhance physical performance.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk (if dairy milk is used)

Suitable for: Vegetarian, vegan (if plant-based milk is used)

Not suitable for: Keto, low-sugar diets, caffeine-sensitive individuals

Selection and Storage

Best consumed fresh. If preparing components like brown sugar syrup in advance, store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
