Method

How to make Monte & Tonic

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one clear collins glass, cut exactly one small thin orange wheel, and keep the tonic water cold and sealed.

  2. 02

    Fill the chilled glass with clean solid ice cubes, leaving enough room for the measured liquids.

  3. 03

    Pour 50 ml amaro directly over the ice and allow it to settle around the cubes.

  4. 04

    Open the tonic immediately before use and pour 120 ml slowly down the inside of the glass to preserve carbonation.

  5. 05

    Give one gentle bottom-to-top lift with a bar spoon; do not shake, churn, or over-stir the highball.

  6. 06

    Place the single orange wheel neatly at the rim and serve immediately without a straw or another garnish.
