How to Make an Americano or 'Milano-Torino'.

The Americano cocktail dates back to the 1860s and was originally known as the Milano-Torino, named after the cities of Milan and Turin. It was renamed Americano in the early 20th century because of its popularity among American tourists in Italy. This refreshing cocktail is made with Campari, sweet vermouth, and club soda, and is often garnished with a slice of orange or lemon. It is considered a precursor to the Negroni, one of the most iconic cocktails in the world.
