Ingredients
Before You Begin
We prefer our homemade Sweet Vermouth in this recipe, but you may substitute store-bought sweet vermouth. For a more potent take on the Americano, try the Negroni, in which gin is substituted for the seltzer—albeit in a smaller quantity!
Instructions
- Fill chilled collins glass halfway with ice. Add Campari and sweet vermouth and stir to combine using bar spoon. Add seltzer and, using spoon, gently lift Campari mixture from bottom of glass to top to combine. Top with additional ice and garnish with orange slice. Serve.

Why This Recipe Works
We experimented with various ratios of Campari and vermouth and found that the classic 1-to-1 formula has stood the test of time for an excellent reason. The two main players coexist in perfect balance, the more bitter, astringent qualities of the Campari softened by the gently spiced, sweetly herbal notes of the vermouth. The combination is invigorated by the cooling impact of seltzer and an orange slice.
