Method
How to make Monte & Tonic
Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.
- 01
Pre-chill one clear collins glass, cut exactly one small thin orange wheel, and keep the tonic water cold and sealed.
- 02
Fill the chilled glass with clean solid ice cubes, leaving enough room for the measured liquids.
- 03
Pour 50 ml amaro directly over the ice and allow it to settle around the cubes.
- 04
Open the tonic immediately before use and pour 120 ml slowly down the inside of the glass to preserve carbonation.
- 05
Give one gentle bottom-to-top lift with a bar spoon; do not shake, churn, or over-stir the highball.
- 06
Place the single orange wheel neatly at the rim and serve immediately without a straw or another garnish.
