Espresso Tonic
Prep time:
A shot of espresso poured over tonic and ice. It came out of Nordic coffee shops and has taken over menus everywhere, deservedly: bitter, citrusy and wide awake.
Ingredients
- 30 ml freshly pulled espresso
- 150 ml well-chilled tonic water
- Ice cubes
- Orange twist
Preparation
- Fill the glass to the top with ice.
- Pour the tonic first, down the side of the glass, and let it settle.
- Pour the espresso over the top, slowly: it floats in a dark layer.
- Express the orange twist over the top and drop it in. Do not stir until the first sip.
