    • 2 shots espresso (about 2 oz), or 1/2 cup very strong coffee
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons chocolate sauce
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling

    Equipment

    • 16 oz glass
    • Spoon
    • Measuring cup

    Instructions

    1. 1

      Pull the espresso shots into a measuring cup and whisk in the chocolate and caramel sauces right away, while the coffee is hot, until smooth.

    2. 2

      Fill the glass with ice and pour in the half-and-half.

    3. 3

      Pour the espresso mixture over the top and stir.

    4. 4

      Add whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

    Recipe notes

    • Coat the inside of the glass with a little caramel sauce before adding ice for the look you get at the stand.
    • For a hot version, heat the milk and skip the ice.
    • Half-and-half makes it a breve and tastes closest; whole milk is lighter.
