Method

How to make Lemon-Rosemary Espresso Tonic

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill a tall 16-ounce highball and prepare one short rosemary sprig and one narrow lemon twist.

  2. 02

    Fill the glass with clean ice cubes, leaving enough room for the complete tonic and espresso build.

  3. 03

    Pour in the chilled tonic water, fresh lemon juice, and rosemary syrup; stir gently without knocking out the carbonation.

  4. 04

    Brew two fresh espresso shots, totaling about 60 ml, into a heat-safe cup.

  5. 05

    Pour the hot espresso slowly over the tonic mixture to form a physically plausible dark floating layer.

  6. 06

    Add exactly the rosemary sprig and lemon twist, then serve immediately without shaking or adding another garnish.
