The Americano
The Americano is a classic cocktail classified as an aperitif, alcoholic beverages enjoyed before meals. It was first concocted in Italy in the early 1900s and earned its name due to its popularity among American tourists during that time. The Americano is a refreshing cocktail made from equal parts Campari Bitter, Red Vermouth, and soda water. It is renowned for its bitter taste and distinctive red color. Some variations of the Americano also include a lemon slice as a garnish. The Americano is not only a delicious cocktail but also has an intriguing history. During World War I, it became a symbol of Italian hospitality and solidarity, as it was served to American soldiers in Italy. The Americano was also enjoyed by famous personalities like Ernest Hemingway and James Bond, evolving into a timeless classic that remains popular to this day.
