Espresso Tonic in a slate bowl

UncommonSunburstEspresso Tonic

An espresso tonic in a slate bowl, #279 of 999. Fluorescent light, walnut counter. Sunburst on the surface. Scarce: Sunburst, Espresso Tonic. Uncommon, roast score 158.

The recipe

17.5 g · 35 g out · 168 ml tonic · over ice

Fill the bowl with ice and pour 168 ml of tonic over it. Ice first, always — tonic poured onto a warm glass goes flat.
Let the fizz settle, then pour the shot slowly over the back of a spoon so it layers instead of mixing.
Serve unstirred, with the layers still showing.
The sunburst is set on at the pass, not poured — there is no steamed milk in this one, so it is drawn in the foam with a pick.
