Head to head
Espresso Tonic and Rock Shandy side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Espresso Tonic has tonic water and coffee, the Rock Shandy lemon-lime soda, soda water and alcohol-free aromatic bitters. In parts, an Espresso Tonic is 2½ tonic water and 1 coffee; a Rock Shandy is 1 lemon-lime soda and 1 soda. By volume, the Espresso Tonic is 100% mixer and juice; the Rock Shandy is 100% mixer and juice. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
They are about equally strong in the glass (both 0.0% ABV), and they hold about the same alcohol (0.00 standard drinks each). Calories are close (about 44 and 51), but the Rock Shandy has more sugar (13.0 g against 10.9 g). Both are built and served in a highball.
