Like any conscientious bartender, Ryan Clur, who created this drink at the restaurant Maialino in New York, is particular about the ingredients he uses: Hologram espresso from Counter Culture Coffee, Fever-Tree tonic water and Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6. For the best results, use these same brands. If you use other brands, you will change the flavor of the drink (though not necessarily in a bad way). Mr. Clur pulls the shot of espresso into a stainless steel steam pitcher so that the coffee is easier to pour over the back of the bar spoon in a classic bartender's float, and because the metal will absorb some of the heat of the espresso and drop the temperature of the drink. The result: a drink that feels like an iced coffee even though there is no ice.

Time 5m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 shot medium-light espresso, preferably Hologram espresso from Counter Culture Coffee
3 1/2 ounces Fever-Tree tonic water, chilled
Dash of orange bitters, preferably Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6
1 piece orange peel, pith removed

Steps:

  • Add chilled tonic water, a dash of orange bitters and an orange twist to a 5-ounce lowball glass.
  • Prepare a shot of espresso: grind, dose and tamp, and lock portafilter into espresso machine. Pull a ristretto shot - 18 grams to 20 grams of grounds will yield 1 1/3 ounces to 1 1/2 ounces of liquid - into a small stainless-steel steam pitcher.
  • Gently pour the espresso over the back of a bar spoon into the lowball glass so that the coffee floats on top of the tonic water. Serve immediately.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less simple syrup next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my Espresso Fizz didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The espresso flavor was too strong for me.

I'm going to try making this Espresso Fizz with cold brew coffee next time. I think it will be just as good, if not better.

I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I really enjoyed this Espresso Fizz. It's not too strong, and the sweetness of the simple syrup balances out the bitterness of the espresso.

I tried this recipe with a flavored sparkling water, and it was delicious! I think I'll try it with different flavors next time.

This recipe is so easy to follow, even for a beginner like me. I loved the combination of espresso and soda water.

I'm a big fan of coffee drinks, and this Espresso Fizz is now one of my favorites! It's the perfect balance of sweet and bitter, and the carbonation gives it a refreshing kick.
