About

The Americano, a classic Italian cocktail, is simple yet bold, combining the bitterness of Campari with the smoothness of Sweet Vermouth. It has its origins in Italy, where it became popular as a refreshing aperitif. Despite its simplicity, the Americano holds a revered place in cocktail history. It was originally known as the “Milano-Torino,” named for the cities where its key ingredients—Campari from Milan and Vermouth from Turin—originated. During the American prohibition era, it became popular with American expatriates in Italy, who began ordering it as the “Americano” in reference to their homeland. The drink's distinct, bittersweet flavor profile makes it a perfect choice before a meal, stimulating the appetite and offering a taste of Italian tradition. Today, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a classic cocktail with a touch of sophistication. A true Italian classic, the Americano is a drink that brings a sense of history and culture to every sip, inviting you to savor a bit of Italy in each glass.
