Starbucks advertise Elijah's preference as an "Iced Venti no-water Americano". I know nowt about coffee so I went to look. If you, like me, haven't had coffee for forty years - this is for you!! I like to know things.
Iced is obvious
Venti is a 24 ounce cold, (20 oz hot) cup. Italian for twenty. (it holds more liquid when cold for some reason.)
Americano is Espresso with water and one extra shot of coffee. If Lij is having it without the water, it's not an Americano, really. But it must be very strong. He does push the boat out, our boy, does he not? Everything to excess.
Wishes he would drink water and not smoke. Ah, me!! :D
