How to Make Americano Cocktail

The Americano cocktail has a fascinating history that dates back to the 1800s, and it has remained a beloved classic cocktail ever since. This lighter style drink has a unique and refreshing taste that is perfect for starting off any dinner party or social gathering. The Americano cocktail is a mix of Campari, sweet vermouth, and soda water, which creates a balanced flavor that is both sweet and bitter.

Plus, with the addition of soda water, the Americano cocktail has a light and refreshing finish that is perfect for sipping on a warm summer evening.

If you’re looking to impress your guests with a unique and delicious cocktail, the Americano is the perfect choice.

Vincenzo’s Top Tip To Make Americano Cocktail

Best served with…

Vincenzo’s Penne Arrabbiata and mouthwatering Arancini. This Americano Cocktail is so simple to make up there is no excuse not to try it!

Adjust the ratios

The traditional Americano recipe calls for equal parts Campari and sweet vermouth with a splash of soda water. However, you can adjust the ratios to your taste preference. For a sweeter cocktail, use more sweet vermouth, and for a more bitter cocktail, use more Campari.

Serve it properly

The Americano is typically served over ice in a highball glass, and garnished with an orange slice or peel. Make sure your glass is properly chilled before pouring the cocktail, and consider adding a large ice cube to prevent dilution.
