The iced Americano is one of my go-to drink orders, especially when looking for an espresso to enjoy black. Made with just ice, cold water, and espresso, the iced Americano is a drink for true espresso lovers. While you can jazz it up with cream or sugar, it's strong, delicious, and bold.

But don't let the simple nature of this drink fool you into thinking the drink is easy to make. Although the steps are simple, the taste of your iced Americano depends entirely on the quality of your espresso shot. Here's what you need to know to make the best iced Americano.

We love these spiced rum cocktails for embracing your dark side
Mix your black spiced rum into these tasty drinks
dark spiced rum cocktails 1

Spiced rum is one of those rather contentious ingredients that people have strong feelings about -- though personally I love it in certain drinks, and I swear by using spiced rum in an Espresso Martini. I think the key for having fun with this ingredient is not simply swapping it into classic cocktails in place of white or even dark rum, as it has a much different flavor profile from these more traditional spirits. Instead, I like to use it in a way that takes advantage of its spicy flavors and sweetness, by mixing it with sharp, punchy ingredients like ginger beer or berry.

These recipes from The Kraken do just that, mixing the brand's Black Spiced Rum with other hefty ingredients that play well with the distinctive flavors.
