Top with Soda: Add the chilled club soda to fill most of the glass, leaving a little room at the top. (30 seconds)

Serve Immediately: Serve your Americano immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors.

For a sweeter profile, add a splash of simple syrup or a dash of sugar.
Experiment with different types of sweet vermouth to find your preferred flavor.
If you don't have club soda, you can substitute with sparkling water or seltzer.
For a stronger drink, reduce the amount of club soda.
Chill your glass beforehand for an extra refreshing experience.

    I found the original recipe a bit too bitter for my taste, so I added a teaspoon of simple syrup, and it was perfect!
