Ingredients
  

2 shots of espresso or strong brewed coffee

2 tablespoons pumpkin puree

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice (or a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1/2 cup milk (your choice of dairy or non-dairy)

Ice cubes

Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Additional pumpkin spice for garnish

Instructions
 

Begin by brewing two shots of espresso or a strong cup of coffee. Allow it to cool slightly to avoid melting the ice too quickly when shaken.

    In a cocktail shaker, add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and the cooled espresso.

      Fill the shaker generously with ice cubes, secure the lid tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. The goal is to mix the ingredients thoroughly and chill the espresso blend.

        While the espresso mixture is chilling, prepare the milk. In a separate glass or jar, pour in the milk. If you like, use a frother or seal the jar and shake vigorously until the milk is frothy and increased in volume.

          Take a serving glass filled with ice and strain the shaken espresso mixture into it, ensuring to leave ample space for the milk.

            Carefully pour the frothed milk over the shaken espresso mixture. To achieve a beautiful layered effect, pour slowly over the back of a spoon.

              If you wish, top the drink with a swirl of whipped cream and dust with additional pumpkin spice for an inviting presentation.
