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."
