Lemon Americano vs. Regular Americano
The addition of lemon gives the Americano a fresh, citrusy flavor that balances the bitterness of espresso. This makes the Lemon Americano an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy a coffee with a refreshing, tangy twist. You can adjust the amount of lemon depending on how strong you like the citrus flavor.
