Espresso Tonic

Bold meets bright — surprisingly refreshing.

Bottled espresso floated over ice-cold tonic water with a twist of citrus. Bright, bittersweet and fizzy — two minutes, no machine.

• 2 min
• Makes 1

The coffee in it costs from ₱60 — the rest is from your kitchen.

You’ll need

• 1 shot of Aconchego espresso (30ml)
• A tall glass of ice
• 120ml cold tonic water
• A slice of orange, or a halved calamansi

Method

1. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in the tonic water.
2. Pour the espresso shot in slowly, over the back of a spoon, so it settles in a layer on top.
3. Squeeze in the citrus or drop in the slice. Stir just before you drink.

Tip: Tonic always goes in first. Pour espresso into an empty glass and add tonic on top, and the fizz foams straight over the rim.
