The Americano is the perfect drink for those who want to enjoy the flavors of a Negroni, but in a lighter format. Created by Gaspare Campari in the 1860s in Milan, this long drink combines equal parts Campari and sweet vermouth, topped with soda water. The result is a refreshing, bittersweet beverage.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces Campari
• 1 1/2 ounces sweet vermouth
• Soda water, chilled, to top
• Garnish: orange twist

Steps

• Fill a highball glass with ice, then add the Campari and sweet vermouth.
• Top with the soda water and stir gently to combine.
• Garnish with an orange twist.

Dry sherry is well known for its compatibility with food, so it makes sense that it is the main ingredient in this 19th-century apéritif, along with an equal amount of dry vermouth. Adding Angostura and orange bitters creates a flavorful, herbal, and nuanced drink that can be enjoyed for an extended period of time.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces dry sherry
• 1 1/2 ounces dry vermouth
• 1 dash Angostura bitters
• 1 dash orange bitters
• Garnish: lemon twist

Steps

• Add the dry sherry, dry vermouth, Angostura bitters and orange bitters into a mixing glass with cracked ice, and stir until well-chilled.
• Strain into a chilled coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.

Ingredients

• 3 ounces prosecco
• 2 ounces Aperol
• 1 ounce club soda
• Garnish: orange slice

Steps

• Add the prosecco, Aperol and club soda to a wine glass filled with ice and stir.
• Garnish with an orange slice.
