Based on an Americano cocktail I had at Martínez in Barcelona, this is a great cocktail to have on hand when you’re hovering over something on the stove that needs your constant attention. It’s refreshing and low in alcohol, so it’s also a good option for brunch or a nightcap with your favorite bartender. Though it seems strange, the addition of the olive gives the cocktail a slight brininess that brings out the herbaceous essences of the Vermouth and Aperol. —A. H. G. Clements
