Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice and pour in the tonic water.
  2. Slowly pour a fresh double espresso over the top so it floats, and stir just before drinking.
  3. Garnish with a lemon or orange twist.

Tip: Fill the glass right to the top with ice so the drink stays cold without watering down fast.

About the Espresso Tonic

Espresso over tonic spread from Scandinavian specialty coffee bars in the late 2000s; Koppi in Helsingborg, Sweden, is often credited with first putting it on a menu.
