Sparkling Americano
This Sparkling Americano is a light, crisp, and bubbly coffee drink that's especially refreshing on a hot summer day.
Servings: 1 drink
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup ice
- 8 ounces sparkling mineral water
- 2 shots freshly brewed espresso
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Pour in the sparkling mineral water, leaving plenty of room for the espresso.
- Slowly pour the freshly brewed espresso over the sparkling water. The drink will foam, so pour carefully.
- Stir gently and serve immediately.
Notes
Sparkling Water: I prefer sparkling mineral water, such as Topo Chico or S. Pellegrino, but club soda or seltzer water will also work.
Espresso: Use freshly brewed espresso and coffee beans you enjoy. Since there's no milk to mask the flavor, the espresso really matters.
Make it Sweet: Feel free to add your favorite flavored syrup to sweeten the drink, if desired.
