Espresso Orange Blossom Fizz

1. Prepare the Base

1. Fill a tall highball glass to the brim with fresh ice cubes.
2. Pour the simple syrup, freshly squeezed orange juice, and orange blossom water directly over the ice.
3. Add the sparkling tonic water, leaving about 3 cm of space at the top of the glass.
4. Stir gently with a bar spoon for five seconds to combine the citrus and floral base without knocking out the carbonation.

2. Float the Espresso

1. Take your chilled freshly brewed espresso.
2. Hold a bar spoon upside down just above the surface of the tonic mixture.
3. Slowly pour the espresso over the back of the spoon to create a striking dark layer floating over the sparkling base.

3. Garnish and Serve

1. Perch an orange wheel on the rim of the glass.
2. Clasp the mint sprig between your palms, give it a quick clap to release its fragrant oils, and tuck it next to the citrus.
