Espresso Tonic preparation
- Fill a 300ml glass with ice and pour 150ml of chilled tonic water over it.
- Let the foam settle for 20 seconds.
- Pull a double espresso (36g) and pour it slowly over the ice so it layers on the tonic.
- Add an orange or grapefruit twist, and stir once before drinking.
Cold tonic and plenty of ice keep the layers apart. A fruit-forward washed light roast works best - dark roast turns muddy against the quinine.
