    Never done this with tonic, but i went to a fancy coffee shop years ago that always served their espresso with a small glass of soda water. I started mixing them and have been making fizzy Americanos ever since! Perfect summer afternoon drink.

    People also do this with fancy Fentemen’s lemonade + espresso. I find it to be revulsive and vile, but people love it.

    I ordered this in a coffee shop once and it was genuinely disgusting

    Espresso tonics are lovely. Americolas are also surprisingly pleasant on occasion.

    I drink these most of the summer, never knew SE had a recipe. I basically just make a lemonade concentrate with juice and simple syrup and then top that up with sparkling water or tonic and pull the shot on top.

    Not quite the same but my Croatian aunt once made me a gin and tonic with a couple coffee beans floating on top which I had never seen before or since.
