Celebrate the 4th of July with an Americano

The Americano was first served in creator Gaspare Campari’s bar in the 1860s. It was originally known as the “Milano-Torino”—Campari from Milan (Milano) and Cinzano from Turin (Torino). During Prohibition, though, the Italians noticed a surge of American tourists who enjoyed this drink. As a compliment to their visitors, the drink became known as the “Americano.”

1 ounce Campari
1 ounce Cinzano Rosso Vermouth
Splash of Club Soda
