The Americano is a classic cocktail created in Italy in the late 19th century. Its name comes from the Italian word &quot;Americano&quot; which means American, as it was a popular drink among American tourists. The cocktail is made with equal parts Campari, a bitter Italian herbal liqueur, and red vermouth, a fortified wine, with a splash of soda water to add some carbonation. The combination of these ingredients results in a refreshing and bitter-sweet flavor profile. The Americano is often served as an aperitif, meant to stimulate the appetite before a meal. It gained popularity during the prohibition era in the United States and has since become a staple in many bars and restaurants across the world. This simple yet sophisticated cocktail is a blend of Italian and American flavors, making it a perfect embodiment of its name.
