Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sparkling water instead of tonic?
Yes - it gives a cleaner, less bitter drink. True coffee tonic uses tonic water for its distinctive bitterness.
Why does the order of pouring matter?
Adding concentrate last, poured slowly, preserves the tonic's carbonation and creates a layered look.
