IBA Classic

Americano是IBA认可的经典不朽鸡尾酒,将等量金巴利和甜苦艾酒置于冰块上,加入少许苏打水,以柑橘皮扭卷点缀。13.71%的酒精度使其成为最原始的开胃利口酒之一,也是意大利饮酒文化的基石。金巴利的草本苦味与苦艾酒浓郁的葡萄酒甜味交织,成就了这款鸡尾酒的苦甜复杂性。

History & Origins

The Americano originated in Milan, Italy, at Gaspare Campari's bar in the 1860s, where it was originally called the Milano-Torino — a reference to Campari (from Milan) and sweet vermouth (from Turin). It earned the name Americano in the early 20th century, reportedly because American tourists favored the drink during Prohibition. It is also notable as the drink that James Bond orders in Ian Fleming's first novel, Casino Royale.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bitter orange and herbal complexity from the Campari, layered with the dried fruit and spice of sweet vermouth, lifted by the bright oils of the citrus peel garnish. Palate: Bitter and sweet in equal measure; Campari's rhubarb and orange bitterness meets the vermouth's rich vanilla and cherry sweetness, with soda providing a refreshing effervescence. Finish: Long and pleasantly bitter, with lingering herbal notes.

Pro Tip

Always express the citrus peel over the glass before garnishing to release the essential oils, which dramatically enhance the aroma and flavor of this aperitivo.
