Espresso Tonic Recipe
Espresso tonic is a shot poured slowly over iced tonic water — bittersweet, fizzy, and endlessly refreshing. A slice of citrus makes it sing.

Step by step
- Fill a glass with ice and add 4–6 oz tonic water.
- Pull a double shot.
- Slowly pour the shot over the tonic — don’t stir, let it layer.
Tip: Pour slowly so it layers over the tonic. A slice of orange or lemon lifts the whole thing.
