Espresso and tonic
Espresso and tonic
- ... that even though espresso is Italian, espresso and tonic originated in Scandinavia? Source: "It should come as no surprise that this inventive drink comes from Scandinavia, one of the envelope-pushing regions of the coffee-drinking world: It is said that the drink was originally mixed in Oslo in 2007 by a barista colleague of Anne Lunell and Charles Nystrand." https://www.drinktrade.com/blog/education/what-is-espresso-tonic

Created by Lajmmoore (talk). Self-nominated at 13:32, 19 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Espresso and tonic; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article moved from draft on 19 November and nominated on the same day, also just long enough at 1505 characters. The article is in good shape and the hook is catchy enough. Image license is good and its appearance is clear. QPQ done. My big concern is with the reliability of the source. It appears to me that it is a blog article on a coffee seller website; in my opinion, a DYK hook should probably be sourced more concretely. Is there a justification for this source, or perhaps an alternate reference that could be used? The quote given also does not state that espresso is Italian, and Italy is not mentioned in the article. Fritzmann (message me) 15:08, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment you're totally right - I was in such a rush to do the nomination, I forgot the basic rules. I'll work on an ALT this week Lajmmoore (talk) 23:46, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Fritzmann: so I've added references to the origins of both espresso and tonic water to the article. The New York Times article also describes the drink originating in Scandinavia. Perhaps I should have used the NYT for the hook nomination, but I thought the blog more detailed and it's author - Ever Meister - is described as a coffee journalist by the NYT, so they seemed an author to trust. Hope this is helpful, let me know if you would like to see further changes Lajmmoore (talk) 23:54, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
