What Is a Shaken Latte?
A shaken latte is exactly what it sounds like—your latte ingredients are combined and shaken (instead of stirred or blended) to create a light, frothy texture. Shaking helps chill the drink quickly while naturally creating a soft foam, giving it that signature airy feel.
Traditionally made with espresso, this version swaps in Dandy Blend for a caffeine-free alternative that still delivers that deep, satisfying flavor. Topped with our sweet cream recipe, this fluffy delight is sure to deliver a mood boost any time of day.
How to Make a Shaken Latte with Dandy Blend Topped with Sweet Cream
This shaken latte recipe can be applied to any latte of your choice. Today, we’re doing a simple Dandy Blend and milk latte, made with water, Dandy Blend, ice, and milk of choice. Add all of these ingredients to a shaker (or two loose fitting cups) and give it a rigorous shake until well combined and slightly frothed. In another container, combine heavy cream, sweetener of choice (maple syrup adds a nice, rich flavor that complements Dandy Blend well), milk of choice, and vanilla extract. You can use a hand whisk to quickly create the sweet cream or you can add it to a tight-fitting jar and shake until thickened. Strain your shaken latte into a glass full of fresh ice, then top with as much sweet cream as your heart desires. Yum.
