Reading about coffee tonic earlier this week, I got to thinking about the suave version and a spin-off of our friend, the ever-popular espresso martini. This is a goodie. Lillet Blanc offers the tonic vibes with a kick, and the citrus effervescence from the club soda-style bubbles, topped with an Americano, surely checks all the necessary boxes. Coffee sparkling pre-dinner rally in style. Elegantly.
Sparkling Lillet Blanc Coffee
2 oz Lillet Blanc
2 oz of citrus flavored bubbly water named Olipop (this water contains other ingredients like various roots citrus and fruits. A split tonic club soda 1:1 or cutis sparkling water an excellent substitute)
Top with unsweetened restrato (strong) Americano coffee, about 1 – 1/2 oz
for the ice Penny Pounder round (or square) large cube or many small ice cubes
Method
This couldn’t be easier. Add an ice cube to a chilled martini glass. Pour in the Lillet and then bubbly water, and then top it off with coffee. That’s it! Garnish with an orange wheel optional.
Glass: martini
Garnish: Orange wheel (optional)
Bar Chef Notes: substituting ice and ingredients will change the recipe slightly and dilution may occur more rapidly.
