This refreshing highball balances the bold, roasted notes of fresh espresso against the crisp, quinine bite of tonic water. Built directly in the glass, it is a simple yet sophisticated drink that highlights the natural interplay between coffee and citrus. The orange twist adds a final aromatic lift, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy a clean, non-spirituous beverage with a complex, bittersweet finish.
