Americano Cocktail
The Americano is a low-ABV cocktail made with Campari, sweet vermouth, and sparkling water, and garnished with an orange slice.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1½ ounces Campari
- 1½ ounces sweet vermouth
- sparkling water or club soda chilled (about 4 ounces)
- Orange wedge garnish
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass to the top with ice. Add Campari and sweet vermouth.
- Top with the club soda and stir gently to combine. Garnish with an orange wedge.
Notes
Serve this cocktail over plenty of ice in a highball glass. This is the classic glassware for several fizzy cocktails such as the Paloma and Dark ‘n Stormy.
Chill your glasses ahead of time in the freezer to keep your drinks cooler for longer. This is one of my favorite tricks in the summer.
Don't skip the orange wedge garnish. It adds a welcome burst of fresh citrus. You can also express an orange peel over the top of the drink for intense citrus aroma.
