Americano

Americano

The Americano is a classic Italian cocktail that combines equal parts sweet vermouth and Campari, topped with a splash of soda water, creating a refreshing and slightly bitter drink. Traditionally served over ice in a short glass, it is garnished with an orange slice or a twist of lemon, making it a perfect aperitif to stimulate the appetite. Its vibrant red hue and balanced flavors embody the essence of Italian sipping culture.
