COCKTAIL RECIPE
Americano
Americano is a classic Italian aperitif cocktail that is fresh, aromatic and low in alcohol, with Campari and vermouth lightened with soda water.
The Americano cocktail is one of the oldest and most elegant examples of Italy's aperitif culture. It is thought to have originated in Milan in the mid-19th century. The first version was actually known by the name Milano-Torino. This name came from the cities of the two main spirits used: Campari from Milan, vermouth from Turin.
Over time, this cocktail became very popular, especially among American tourists visiting Italy. The addition of soda made the drink lighter and more refreshing. Because Americans loved this drink so much, the cocktail became known as the Americano.
