J & Tony’s Discount Cured Meats and Negroni Warehouse has served the Kold Brew Americano, a mashup of the Americano cocktail and the Americano espresso drink, for years. “The combination of cold brew and bitter liqueur with a touch of fresh lemon acts like an espresso and tonic: tangy, bittersweet, refreshing,” says bartender Anthony Schmidt, all lengthened by effervescent seltzer, “a necessary step, since we’re using such intense ingredients.”
