Coffee lovers around the world are looking for the next thing, and it seems that recently the tonic’s best friend is no longer gin—it’s espresso. Although some avid coffee lovers claim that an expresso tonic is a disgrace to espresso, if you think of it as a refreshing beverage on a hot summer day instead of as a coffee drink, you’ll enjoy this alcoholic drink.
The combination of the bitter and deep espresso and the herbaceous and spicy tonic has gained momentum in recent months. This drink originates from barista competitions around the world and since then, it’s become a staple drink on many menus. Espresso tonics are bubbly, aromatic, dry, and slightly bitter, with a refreshing finish and a beautiful look.
To make the drink, fill a glass with ice and add three-quarters of a cool tonic. Finish it off by sprinkling an espresso whip over it. It’s recommended to serve an expresso tonic in a low, transparent, thin glass.
For tonic lovers, the tonic can be prepared at home using ingredients found in every kitchen. Homemade tonic recipes have recently popped up on the web as part of this summer-time trend.
