Chiodo is Italian for 'nail', an appropriate name for a riff on a Rusty Nail with a splash of Italian Americano Rosso.

Does the recipe call for Cocchi Rosa or Cocchi Rosso? The ingredients list says Rosa, but the review says Rosso.

The generic term for the ingredient is “American Rosso”. I originally used “Savoia American Rosso” but “Cocchi Americano Rosa” would also work well.
