What is Americano?
The Americano cocktail is a timeless Italian aperitif that blends bitter and bubbly elements into one refreshingly complex drink. First served in the 1860s at Gaspare Campari’s bar in Milan, the Americano combines the bold bitterness of Campari, the rich depth of sweet vermouth, and the effervescence of club soda. Light yet flavorful, it's the perfect low-ABV cocktail for sipping before dinner or enjoying on a warm afternoon. With its balance of herbal, citrus, and bittersweet notes, the Americano is a sophisticated choice for those who appreciate classic European cocktails with a modern twist.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
