Recipe Tips
Let the espresso cool completely before using it. Adding hot espresso directly to a glass of ice melts a significant amount of it immediately, diluting the drink and throwing off the balance. If you are short on time, spread the espresso in a shallow dish or pour it over a few ice cubes in a separate glass to speed up the cooling.
The sauce thickens as it cools in the refrigerator, which is normal. Stir it briefly before using. If it has become too thick to drizzle, microwave it in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until it reaches a pourable consistency.
For a cleaner presentation, drizzle the sauce in a slow circular motion, starting from the bottom of the glass and spiraling up. This creates the familiar look of the Starbucks original and distributes flavor more evenly than a single pour.
