How to Make an Espresso Tonic

In recent years the espresso tonic has risen to become a trendy summer drink, earning itself a spot as a fresh classic. Crisp, fruity and bubbly, we’ve got an awesome recipe just for you featuring our signature espresso. Feel free to craft it with or without a coffee liqueur, it’s your call. 

What you’ll need:

• 10-12oz glass
• Double shot of Mozzo Signature Espresso
• Ice cubes
• 100 ml Indian tonic water
• Optional: 10ml vanilla syrup
• Optional: 25ml coffee liqueur (such as Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur)

Method:

• Prepare your Signature espresso by following our espresso brewing guide

Our personal favourite recipe:

• 18g ground coffee in; 36 - 40g brewed espresso out
• 26 - 30 second extraction

• Set the espresso aside to cool while you assemble the other ingredients
• Fill your glass to the top with ice cubes
• Pour in the tonic water until your glass is about ¾ filled
• Optional step: pour a shot of coffee liqueur into your brewed espresso
• Optional step: add vanilla syrup to your espresso and liqueur mixture to add extra sweetness
• Pour the espresso mixture slowly over the tonic to create a contrasting effect between the dark layer of coffee and the tonic underneath
• Serve immediately and enjoy!
