The drink tastes quite different from most cocktails. The drink has bitter and tart notes in the foreground. The alcoholic taste is also pleasant to taste. The Americano can best be compared to a Negroni, only not quite as alcoholic. Most cocktails are characterised by mildly sweet flavours. This drink is different. It’s best to try the Americano for yourself and see for yourself its tart-bitter-harmonious flavour profile.

How does the drink taste?
The cocktail tastes quite different from most mixed drinks. It is dominated by bitter-tart notes. The alcoholic flavour is also pleasant to taste, but does not play to the fore unnecessarily. However, the cocktail is by no means sweet.
Is an Americano a Negroni?
