Ingredients
1
shot
espresso
¾
cup
tonic water
1
slice
orange
or lemon
Ice cubes
Instructions
Fill your lowball tumbler with ice cubes and a single slice of lemon or orange.
Pour tonic water over the ice until the glass is 3/4 full.
Pull a single shot of espresso into a separate glass or cup.
Slowly pour the espresso over the iced tonic water and serve immediately.
Notes
Lemon and orange both work well in this drink so choose which ever citrus fruit you prefer or have on hand.
Pouring the tonic water first allows it to chill and settle before adding your espresso.
Gently pour the espresso on top - pour too quick and it may fizz up and over the top of your glass.
Experiment with different coffee beans - fruity Ethiopian or Kenyan coffee beans work well with this style of coffee drink.
