The Americano cocktail is a fizzy, bittersweet drink with Italian origins. It’s the perfect aperitivo before dinner or a refreshing sipper on a warm day. Recipe yields 1 drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ ounces Campari
  • 1 ½ ounces sweet vermouth, like Dolin
  • 2 ounces club soda*
  • 1 slice of orange, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in the Campari and sweet vermouth, then gently pour the club soda into the glass at a 45-degree angle to preserve the bubbles. 
  2. Gently stir with a spoon, and garnish with a slice of orange. Serve at once.

Notes

Make it lighter: For a lower-alcohol drink with a lighter flavor, use 1 ounce or less each of the Campari and vermouth.

Club soda recommendations: James Bond insists on Perrier, but I prefer Fever Tree or Topo Chico for the plentiful bubbles.
