Tonic Drums

Tonic Tamborines is a refreshing, effervescent highball that bridges the gap between afternoon coffee and evening cocktails. Built directly in a highball glass filled with ice, it layers sparkling mineral water with a robust shot of fresh espresso and Mitre Origen Tamborines (an artisanal tamarind-chili liqueur). The drink is finished by squeezing half a fresh orange over the top, using the citrus peel to twist and express aromatic oils along the rim of the glass before garnishing with a fresh orange slice and a sprig of herbal basil.

Ingredients:

  • 20 ml Mitre Origin Tamborines

  • 45 ml espresso coffee

  • 120 ml Mineral water

  • Slice of orange

  • 1 sprig of basil

Instructions:

  • Fill a highball glass with ice and add mineral water, a shot of coffee, and Mitre Origen Tamborines. Finish by squeezing half an orange over the mixture and using the peel to flavor the rim of the glass.

  • Garnish with orange peel and basil.
