A tall and refreshing highball, with subtle flavor. If you are a fan of Mandarine Napolean you should definitely try this - the soda dilutes the espresso into the background, and the distinct twist on orange flavor of Mandarine skims along the top of the taste (but you will need to look for it). Not a sweet or syrupy drink - it is refreshing, light, balanced on the edge of sweetness and with a mild earthiness and faint bitterness from the espresso. Very creative use of only 3 ingredients! I like the idea of James McMakin below, in adding small amounts of other liqueurs/liquors to bend the flavor another direction.

Added a 10ml float of Aalborg Akvavit and called it Denmark-Norway joins Napoleon. Like in 1814 when D/N sides with France after Britain steals their fleet.

Rafraîchissant, mêlant finement les saveurs de café et mandarine.
