Behind the Drink
A timeless Italian aperitivo first served in the 1860s at Gaspare Campari's bar in Milan. A harmonious blend of Campari and sweet vermouth, topped with sparkling soda, it delivers a balanced mix of bitterness, herbal warmth, and effervescence.
As the predecessor to the Negroni, the Americano offers elegant simplicity with enduring, classic charm.
