Method

Drink

  1. 1

    Build the Americano

    Fill a highball glass or old-fashioned glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice.

  2. 2

    Pour 1 oz Campari over the ice, followed by 1 oz sweet (red) vermouth.

  3. 3

    Top with about 2 oz (or to taste) club soda. Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to combine — avoid over-stirring to preserve carbonation.

  4. 4

    Garnish with an orange slice or a large orange twist squeezed over the drink to release oils, then drop it in.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately with a straw or without, and enjoy.
