Americano Cocktail

By SippitySup

This classic cocktail may be the pre-cursor to another old standard, the Negroni. It became popular through a loophole in the Prohibition laws because it was possible to legally acquire it during that time with a“prescription”from your“doctor”.

Ingredients

• 1 oz campari
• 2 oz sweet vermouth
• 3 oz club soda
• 1 lemon or orange twist as garnish
