Negroni lovers!
If youre looking for a refreshing bittersweet aperitif thats low on alcohol, try an Americano.
In fact, there is no clear, documented history behind the name.

It may simply be a verbal embellishment on amaro.
Its iconic bright red hue is thanks to the Campari, effectively making that the star ingredient.
What Kind of Vermouth Works Best?
Simply Recipes / Elana Lepkowski
For this drink, most any sweet vermouth will work.
I actually go French in my recipe with Dolin Rouge.
Its less bitter and sweeter, balancing out the Campari so that the cocktail is not overwhelmingly bitter.

A highball glass filled with ice gives a little more room to add in the soda water.
To finish the drink, try an orange slice.
It complements the citrus component of the Campari and provides a subtle fresh aroma to the drink.

Pour the Campari, sweet vermouth, and 2 ounces soda water into the glass.
Stir gently with a long spoon or straw to combine.
Taste, adding more soda water to taste, if needed.
