A tall highball glass filled with a layered espresso spritz, featuring dark coffee at the base, creamy oat milk in the middle, and carbonated bubbles at the top with a cardamom garnish.

Ingredients

2 fl oz chilled espresso
0.75 fl oz cardamom simple syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
2 fl oz barista-style oat milk
3 fl oz chilled soda water
1 cup fresh ice cubes
2 whole green cardamom pods for garnish

Instructions

Brew a double shot of espresso (approximately 2 fluid ounces).
Stir the vanilla bean paste into the hot espresso until completely dissolved and the vanilla seeds are evenly distributed.
Allow the espresso mixture to cool to room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
Fill a 12-ounce highball glass with fresh ice cubes.
Pour the cardamom simple syrup and the chilled vanilla espresso over the ice.
Add the oat milk to the glass, allowing it to settle into the coffee layers.
Top with chilled soda water, pouring slowly to maintain carbonation.
Gently stir once with a long-handled spoon to incorporate the ingredients.
Garnish with two whole cardamom pods and serve immediately.
