Espresso Soda Recipes

Steps:

• Put the espresso in a tall glass and stir in simple syrup to taste. Add ice cubes and the lemon twist. Fill to the top with sparkling water. Serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the sugar is completely melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the espresso beans and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Strain, cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours.
• Fill 8 tall glasses with ice. Add about 1/4 cup of the espresso syrup to each glass. If desired, add a shot of vodka and coffee liqueur with the syrup and stir well. Fill to the top with club soda.

Steps:

• With a small ice-cream scoop or spoon, divide ice cream between 2 chilled stemmed glasses. Add espresso mixture, Sambuca and club soda and top with espresso beans.
