The Americano is a misunderstood gem. It has no coffee in it. It has no americano (Italian gentian wine) in it. The bitter liqueur does not have to be Campari, and you can use whatever vermouth you want. It is a simple, refreshing and versatile cocktail that you can adapt to your needs. Sunny day or stormy night, the Americano is always a good place to start.
