Summer time coffee
ESPRESSO TONIC is a shot of espresso poured over a glass of ice and then topped with tonic water. The result is a sweet and citrusy, creamy and effervescent concoction, a bit like a honeycomb lemonade - it's absolutely delicious.
How to make Espresso Tonic
Ingredients:
We suggest the Australian made Capi Tonic water it is less bitter and lemony than other tonic waters.
Next is choosing the right coffee, you'll want a non-bitter profile that complements the tonic. Blends might be a bit too complex in their flavours so a single origin from central American like our Finca Kassandra Mexican with its clean and bright body and distinct floral and citrus notes will do the job nicely.
Method:
(2 parts tonic to one part espresso) Start with a shot of espresso over a glass of ice (a barista will pull the espresso shot directly on top of the ice) and then top it off with 80-100ml of chilled tonic water.
