Ingredients
6 oz (¾ cup) premium tonic water, chilled
2 oz (double shot) fresh espresso, hot
Plenty of ice cubes
1 slice of lemon, lime, or orange, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Fill a tall, clear glass generously with ice cubes.
Step 2: Pour the chilled tonic water over the ice. Pour slowly to maintain carbonation.
Step 3: Prepare a double shot (approximately 2 ounces) of fresh, hot espresso. A strong, concentrated brew will give the best flavor.
Step 4: Slowly pour the hot espresso over the back of a spoon, held just above the tonic water. This technique helps the espresso layer on top of the tonic, creating a beautiful visual effect.
Step 5: Garnish with a fresh slice of lemon, lime, or orange. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Espresso Tonic!
Notes
For the best layering effect, ensure your tonic water is very cold and pour the hot espresso slowly over the back of a spoon. Experiment with different tonic water brands and citrus garnishes to find your perfect Espresso Tonic combination!
