Ingredients

1 cup 240 ml espresso, chilled
3 Tablespoons 45 ml maple syrup
3 orange, 1/4", halved with rind
½ cup 120 ml tonic water, split use
2 cups 260 g ice cubes, plus extra for serving

1. Place the chilled espresso, maple syrup, orange slices and 2 cups of ice into the Aer® Disc container in the order listed and secure the lid. Run the Muddle Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then increase to its highest speed. Blend for 40 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.
2. Fill two 16oz cocktail glasses 3/4 full with ice. Pour the mixture over ice, splitting between the two glasses. If desired, use the lid to slightly strain the mixture as your pouring. Top with 2oz of tonic water per glass.
