Method

1

Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill the drink.

2

Pull a double shot of espresso (approximately 30-36ml) using your espresso machine.

3

Pour the tonic water over the ice in the glass.

4

Slowly pour the hot espresso over the back of a spoon or directly onto the ice to create a layered effect.

5

Gently stir the mixture once or twice to combine the flavors without losing too much carbonation.

6

Garnish with a slice of citrus fruit and serve immediately.

Barista note: Taste before adjusting — a small change in grind, dose, ratio, or time usually makes the biggest difference.
