Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 1 minute (for the espresso)
Total Time: 6 minutes
Servings: 1
Instructions:
1. Begin by weighing and grinding your coffee beans to achieve 22 grams of coffee grounds. The ideal grind size should be fine to ensure a flavorful extraction.
2. Start your espresso machine; while it is heating, fill your serving glass with ice cubes to preference.
3. Pull two double shots of espresso for a total of 100 milliliters. If your serving glass doesn’t fit under the espresso machine, use a pitcher or similar vessel and then transfer the espresso to your serving glass.
4. Over the ice, pour the freshly made espresso.
5. Next, add your lemon juice into the glass, using 30 milliliters or adjust according to your taste. This is the key step that gives the drink its zesty character.
6. Top off your glass with soda water. Pour slowly to minimize excessive foaming, which can occur due to the interaction between the soda and the espresso.
7. Gently stir the mixture to ensure the flavors are well combined.
8. Garnish with a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass for a decorative and flavorful touch.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful symphony of the Lemon Berry Espresso Sparkler.
Cooking Tips:
- Consider the freshness of your coffee beans for the best flavor profile, as older beans may result in a less vibrant espresso.
- The quality of your lemon juice can greatly influence the taste of the drink; using fresh lemon juice is highly recommended.
