Review:
A bittersweet aperitivo. Don't forgo the garnish, as the hint of orange rounds this cocktail.
History:
The lesser known sibling of the Milano-Torino, this was originally made with Amaro Cora (a bittersweet aperitivo from Piemonte, near Turin) and Campari (from Milan). Hence, this cocktail's name.
Sadly, production of Amaro Cora ended in the early 2000s, so unless you have an old bottle, it is now impossible to replicate the original recipe. However, a mildly bitter amaro can be used as a substitute to produce a modern-day interpretation.
Alcohol content:
- 1.2 standard drinks
- 18.9% alc./vol. (18.9° proof)
