This peach espresso tonic is my ideal morning drink in the summer. It consists of a really delicious peach, basil, and brown sugar syrup mixed with tonic water and a shot of espresso. 

Ingredients

For the syrup:

  • 2 cups sliced peaches (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup water

 

  • For the drink:
  • 1/2-3/4 ounce peach syrup
  • 3-4 ounces tonic water
  • shot espresso (1 1/2 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Make your peach syrup by adding 2 cups of sliced peaches, 6-7 basil leaves, and 1 cup of brown sugar. Heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Let cool, then strain.
  2. Brew your espresso.
  3. Add 1/2-3/4 ounce of syrup to an ice-filled glass. Add 3-4 ounces of tonic water.
  4. Top with the espresso, stir and garnish with basil and more peach slices.

Notes

Keep the extra simple syrup in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
