Which garnish is used on an Americano?

Explanation:
An Americano is built with Campari, sweet vermouth, and soda water, and its aroma is traditionally brightened by orange. The oils from orange zest release just enough citrus to lift the bitterness of Campari and the sweetness of the vermouth without overpowering the drink. Lemon zest would introduce a sharper citrus that can clash with Campari’s orange notes, lime wheel adds a different tart citrus that doesn’t fit the classic profile, and an olive is more associated with martinis and would taste out of place here. Orange zest is the traditional, complementary finish.
