The term "Americano" is all over the Italian vernacular, most commonly with references to either nationality or a particular coffee order. Riccardo Massetti of Cremini's in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, wants you to extend the familiar word to a refreshing aperitivo that uses Cappelletti, a crimson bitter that makes for a nice alternative to the familiar spritz pairings with Prosecco. See how to make it below.
