Sparkling Espresso Tonic Refresher
Sparkling Espresso Tonic Refresher
Ingredients
- 8 shots espresso, freshly brewed and chilled slightly
- 4 cups tonic water, chilled
- as needed ice
- 4 slices lemon, for garnish
- 4 tablespoons simple syrup, optional, for sweetness
Instructions
- 1
Brew 8 shots of fresh espresso. For best results, brew the espresso and allow it to cool slightly, or even chill it in the refrigerator for a few minutes. This prevents the ice from melting too quickly when combined with the tonic water.
⏱️ 2 min - 2
Fill four 12-ounce glasses generously with ice cubes.
⏱️ 1 min - 3
Pour 1 cup of chilled tonic water into each of the four glasses over the ice. If using simple syrup, add 1 tablespoon to each glass now and stir gently to combine with the tonic water.
⏱️ 1 min - 4
Carefully and slowly pour 2 shots of the cooled espresso over the tonic water in each glass. Pouring slowly will allow the espresso to float on top, creating a beautiful layered effect before it eventually mixes.
⏱️ 1 min - 5
Garnish each drink with a fresh lemon slice. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Sparkling Espresso Tonic Refresher.
