Question 1

How many calories are in a serving of espresso tonic?

Accepted Answer

Espresso tonics are low-calorie drinks compared to most sweetened coffee drinks. The calorie content of espresso tonics is from the tonic water and sweeteners. The recipe above contains about 62 calories. However, without a sweetener, it could have far fewer calories.

Question 2

Should you stir an espresso tonic drink?

Accepted Answer

You can choose to stir your espresso tonic. However, it might cause your drink to get opaque and chalky. It'll also melt the ice more quickly.

Question 3

How to make espresso tonic with cold brew?

Accepted Answer

Cold brew coffee is an excellent alternative to espresso for this recipe. Cold brews are coffee concentrates that are made without any form of heating. They can also be pre-made and kept in the fridge for a long time.

To make a cold brew, pour a cup of coarsely ground coffee beans into a jar. Add 1.5 cups of cold or room-temperature water.

Mix the grounds and the water thoroughly, and add an extra 1.5 cups of water.

To steep the drink, close the lid tightly to ensure it's airtight and refrigerate it for 16 to 24 hours. Strain your cold brew with a coffee filter.

When you make your cold brew, you can use it instead of the espresso in your espresso tonic recipe. Note that the longer your coffee brews in the fridge, the "stronger" the flavor gets. Also, you can store a jar of cold brew in your refrigerator for future use.
