Invented in the fall of 2010 at Bourbon Street Cafe in Los Angeles, a "Fat Americano" is a shot of espresso served over soda and ice. The inventor of this drink, "Barista Paul" prefers to enjoy this beverage with 7-Up for the soda.
The name is derived from the already popular beverage "Americano," which is a shot of espresso over water. Trying to stay consistent with American pop culture, Barista Paul thought that adding the word "Fat" to signify the replacement of water with soda would be appropriate.

I'd like to order a fat americano with 7-Up, please.
This fat americano is delicious! Why didn't anyone think of this before?

An Americano is a style of coffee. A shot of espresso combined with hot water.
If you take it black, then you're having an African Americano.

To the barrista - "May I have an Americano please?"
"Do you take it with milk sir?"
"Nothing thanks. Just make it an African Americano please."

Hot espresso poured directly onto ice. Yes. I totally co-opted Japanese Iced Coffee, or Iced Esspresso, and came up with a better name, Shocked Americano, but Hard Americano is preferred in certain other communities.
Hard Americano! Get it? It's an Americano but instead of water, you use ice, ... ice is water, only hard.
