Refresh Your Summer with the Perfect Espresso Tonic Recipe

by Leon Lee on Jul 10, 2024
Refresh Your Summer with the Perfect Espresso Tonic Recipe
Summer is here, and with the heat comes the perfect excuse to shake up your caffeine routine. Today, we're diving into the world of espresso tonic, a refreshing drink that combines the bold punch of espresso with the fizzy delight of tonic water. If you haven't tried it yet, you're in for a treat.
Now, you might be wondering how to make this magical concoction. Don't worry, we've got you covered. We're not just going to tell you how to make an espresso tonic; we're going to show you how to make the best one, using the awesome STARESSO Classic Portable Espresso Machine. This little gadget is perfect for crafting top-notch espresso anywhere you are, from your kitchen to your camping trip.

What is an espresso tonic?

First things first, what exactly is an espresso tonic? It's a trendy drink that combines espresso's deep, rich flavor with the bright, bubbly burst of tonic water. The result is a drink that's refreshing, slightly bitter, and absolutely delightful. Originating from the specialty coffee scene, espresso tonic has been gaining popularity in cafes worldwide.

Ingredients for the perfect espresso tonic

Essential ingredients

  • Espresso - Freshly brewed espresso is the key. And yes, we recommend using the STARESSO Classic Portable Espresso Machine for the best results. You'll need about 1.5 ounces of espresso (a single shot).
  • Tonic Water - High-quality tonic water is a must. Go for something with a good fizz and a clean, crisp taste. You'll need about 4-6 ounces of tonic water.
  • Ice - You'll need plenty of ice cubes to keep your drink chill and refreshing.

Optional add-ins

  • Lemon or lime wedges can add a zesty twist.
  • If you prefer a sweeter drink, try simple syrup or flavored syrups.
  • Herbs like mint or rosemary can enhance the aroma and the look of your drink.

Step-by-step guide to making espresso tonic

Preparing the espresso

STARESSO Espresso Machine making espresso

Using the STARESSO Classic Portable Espresso Machine is a breeze. Here's how you do it:
  1. Start by assembling your STARESSO machine. It's compact and easy to handle, perfect for quick setup.
  2. Use your favorite coffee grounds. We suggest going for a medium to dark roast for a rich, bold flavor.
  3. Pump the machine to extract the espresso. Aim for 1.5 ounces (a single shot) that's rich and topped with a good layer of crema.

Assembling the drink

Now, let's build that espresso tonic:
  1. Fill a Glass with Ice - Start with a tall glass and fill it up with ice cubes. The more, the merrier.
  2. Pour in Tonic Water - Fill the glass about two-thirds full with tonic water. That's roughly 4-6 ounces.
  3. Add the Espresso - Slowly pour your freshly brewed espresso (1.5 ounces) over the tonic water. Watch the magic as the dark coffee swirls into the clear tonic.

Tips for the best espresso tonic experience

Choosing the right espresso beans

The beans you use can make a big difference. Go for a medium to dark roast that can stand up to the strong flavor of the tonic water. You want something bold and rich.

Experimenting with ratios

Don't be afraid to play around with the ratios of espresso to tonic water. Some like it more on the coffee side, while others prefer a lighter, more tonic-forward drink. A good starting point is 1.5 ounces of espresso to about 4-6 ounces of tonic water.

Serving suggestions

Serve your espresso tonic in a clear glass to show off those beautiful layers and swirls. This drink is perfect for brunches, summer parties, or just a refreshing pick-me-up on a hot afternoon.

Troubleshooting common espresso tonic issues

Bitterness balance

If your espresso tonic is too bitter, it could be your beans or coffee grounds. Or you can try adjusting the espresso to tonic ratios. You can also add a bit of simple syrup or a squeeze of citrus to balance it out.

Fizz factor

To keep your drink fizzy, make sure your tonic water is well-chilled before you pour it in. Also, avoid stirring too much after adding the espresso, as this can flatten the bubbles.

Espresso quality

Ensure you're getting a good shot of espresso every time with the STARESSO Classic Portable Espresso Machine. Clean your machine regularly and use fresh, high-quality coffee beans.
Making a perfect espresso tonic is as easy as it is refreshing. With the STARESSO Classic Portable Espresso Machine, you can enjoy this delightful drink anywhere. Upgrade your coffee routine to stay cool and caffeinated this summer!
