Ingredients
1 oz cold brew coffee concentrate or espresso
4 oz Fever Tree Indian Tonic Water
1/2 oz oleo saccharum or other syrup
lemon peel
Directions
Fill a glass with ice. Add the tonic water. Float the cold brew coffee concentrate and oleo saccharum on top because it looks cool, but serve it with a straw or small spoon to blend the flavors. Express the lemon oil and add the peel to the glass.
Notes
Ok, almost used lemon juice instead of oleo saccharum because I was distracted dancing to Tyler the Creator—close save! Seriously though…this drink is exactly why I love home bartending. Easy, impressive, and unexpected! For those of us without an espresso maker, cold brew coffee concentrate is perfect—even strongly brewed coffee would work. Oleo saccharum isn’t essential, but the lemon and coffee play so well together, so at minimum I recommend expressing plenty of lemon oil into the drink and using a wide strip of peel as a garnish.
