Easy Coffee Tonic Recipe
For a refreshing pick-me-up any time of day, this easy Coffee Tonic recipe is what you need. This simple yet sophisticated beverage combines the bold flavors of cold brew coffee with the bubbliness of tonic water – a nice change to your regular morning brew!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 oz cold brew concentrate
- 6 oz tonic water (Fever Tree or any variety of other ingredients that suit your taste preference)
- Ice cubes or coffee cubes (enough ice to fill your serving glass)
- Sweetener (simple syrup, maple syrup, agave, or other liquid sweetener), to taste
- Optional garnishes : slice of citrus, lime wedge, sprig of rosemary, or cherry syrup
Instructions
- Fill Your Glass with Ice: Start by filling a highball glass with ice cubes. For an extra boost of coffee flavor, try using ice cubes made from cold brew coffee instead of regular ice.
- Add Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate: Pour your cold brew coffee concentrate over the ice, filling the glass about halfway.
- Sweeten (Optional): If you prefer your coffee tonic with a little sweetness, now’s the time to add it. A splash of simple syrup, maple syrup, or even a teaspoon of brown sugar can provide that little bit of sweetness to balance the citrusy notes of the tonic.
- Top with Tonic Water: Slowly pour tonic water over the cold brew coffee concentrate until the glass is almost full. The combination of coffee and tonic water will create a bubbly, effervescent drink.
- Add Flavor Enhancements and Garnish: Squeeze in some fresh lime juice or syrup, then add a slice of citrus for garnish—a lime wedge or slice of lemon works beautifully. Give it a quick stir to mix then enjoy. Cheers!
