Americano Highball Easy

A long bitter aperitif serve for people who want something lighter than a Negroni.

Use the bottle style, not only the brand name, when you substitute.

  • 1 oz alcohol-free red aperitif or dry red tea
  • 3 oz soda water

Method

Small technique choices matter more when there is no alcohol carrying the drink.

1 Build over ice
2 Top with soda
3 Stir once and keep the finish bitter.

Finish: Orange slice
