Americano Cocktail Recipe
This classic Italian cocktail is big on taste but light on booze. You get a mix of bitter, sweet, and bubbles that is refreshing any time of day. An Americano is great before a meal or during a sunny afternoon with friends.
Equipment
- Highball or old-fashioned glass
- Jigger or measuring spoon
- Bar Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz campari
- 1 1/2 oz sweet vermouth
- 2 oz soda water
- orange slice or twist for garnish
Instructions
- Start by filling a highball glass with plenty of ice. Pour in 1 1/2 oz of Campari and 1 1/2 oz of sweet vermouth directly over the ice so the spirits chill and blend together.
- Slowly top it off with about 2 oz of soda water. Stir gently to mix the flavors without losing the fizz.
- Add a fresh orange slice or twist for garnish. You can drop it into the drink or rest it on the rim. Serve right away while it's cold and bubbly.
