Servings1 (about 16 oz)

Ingredients

For the drink

2 shots espresso (about 2 oz), or 1/2 cup very strong coffee
1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
1 tablespoon caramel syrup
3/4 cup half-and-half
Ice

For the soft top

1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
1 tablespoon milk

For serving

Caramel sauce, for drizzling

Equipment

Espresso machine or equipment for making strong coffee
Handheld milk frother or a jar with a lid
16 oz glass

Instructions

1
Pull the espresso shots and stir in the vanilla and caramel syrups while the coffee is hot so they dissolve.
2
Fill the glass with ice, pour in the half-and-half, then pour the sweetened espresso over it.
3
For the soft top, froth the heavy cream, vanilla syrup and milk for 20 to 30 seconds, until it's thick but still pourable, like melted ice cream. Shaking it hard in a lidded jar works too.
4
Spoon the soft top over the drink, drizzle with caramel sauce and serve right away.

Recipe notes

Want it hot? Steam the half-and-half instead of pouring it over ice and skip the soft top or add it on top anyway.
Oat milk works in place of half-and-half but the drink will be less rich.
