The Americano

Like many cocktails, the Americano's origin is unknown but there are a number of stories. The oldest tradition is that the Americano was invented in 1860 at Gaspare Campari's bar in Milan, Italy. Another story goes back to the 1930s; the cocktail was then named in honor of the Italian boxer Primo Carnera, active in the
United States, and for that reason called The Americano.
