An americano is just espresso shots with hot water, and misto simply refers to steamed milk. The drink is made up of equal parts of each, and at Starbucks topped with foam.

"If you cant handle that id like a Ventee traditional misto please use soy milk with two blond shots, Affagato and ristretto. I'd also love 3 vanilla pumps at the bottom, then add the coffee."

Italic-Americana(Of Italian-American Origins). Phrase meaning "Mixed blood". Both of Italian ethnic group and another. Most commonly between Italians and Blacks. this ethnic group is small but growing in the cities like New York, Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans. Not to be mistaken for "Creole." This is entirly different.
