5 great Dublin spots for an espresso tonic while the sun’s still shining

Fiona Frawley

We absolutely love a bonus week of sunshine.

And by the looks of the forecast, the sunny spell should be continuing well into next week! This kind of weather calls for one thing – an iced coffee. And if you’re all miked out after one too many iced lattes, why not opt for a light and spritzy espresso tonic? Espresso is poured over tonic water and ice and finished off with a touch of citrus to create this refreshing caffeinated dream. Sound like a bitta you? Read on, here are some of our fave spots in Dublin to pick one up.

Two Boys Brew, Phibsboro
