Ingredients

1 shot Espresso
150 ml Tonic water
4 pieces Ice cubes
1 piece Lime wedge
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
1 tsp Sugar syrup (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a fresh shot of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Set aside and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 2

Fill a glass with 4 ice cubes to chill the glass thoroughly.

Pour the tonic water over the ice, filling up to about 3/4 of the glass.

Step 4

If desired, add 1 teaspoon of sugar syrup to the tonic water for a sweeter taste and stir gently.

Step 5

Slowly pour the cooled espresso over the tonic water. This will create a layered effect with the espresso floating on top.

Step 6

Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and a sprinkle of lemon zest on top for added citrus aroma.

Step 7

Serve immediately with a straw for stirring, allowing the flavors to mix as you sip.
