An Americano cocktail is a delicious campari cocktail made with campari (of course!), sweet vermouth, and club soda. Its bitter and refreshing flavor will open your palette for a big meal and cool you down on a hot day.
First add campari to the glass. Then pour in the vermouth. Top with club soda.
Stir with a spoon so all the ingredients combine. Garnish with orange slices and strawberries.
Notes
This americano cocktail recipe is made for a tall cocktail glass. If you're using a smaller glass, you can halve the recipe.
The recommended vermouth to use for this cocktail is a red sweet vermouth. I used Cinzano Rosso, but there are so many red vermouths out there you can use.
This cocktail is on the stronger side. To make it less strong, you can add more club soda than the recipe calls for.
Garnishing this cocktail with orange slices and strawberries is optional, but I would recommend it. It makes the cocktail look pretty, and by the time you're finished the cocktail, you'll have wonderful liqueur-soaked fruit to eat!
