Get the recipe for the Americana at Herbs Taverne

Herbs Taverne in Sydney is the sixth bar to open from the Sydney based Mucho group (Tio’s, The Cliff Dive, Cantina OK!, Bar Planet, Centro 86). There’s a black and blood orange  colour scheme here, with dark brick walls broken up with mirrored panels, and 70s style light fixtures hanging from the checkerboard ceiling. The drinks lean bitter — Herbs is billed as a Negroni bar after all — and one of the standouts is this drink here, the Americana. It's worth noting, too, that the drink has landed on the Boothby Top 50 Drinks of the Year this year, too. As Mucho group creative director Jeremy Blackmore explains below, the drink shares some provenance with the classic Americano, but it’s a little different, and very Mucho.
