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The lesser-known sibling of the Milano-Torino, this was originally made with Amaro Cora (a bittersweet aperitivo from Piemonte, near Turin) and Campari (from Milan).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.

Review

A bittersweet aperitivo. Don't forgo the garnish, as the hint of orange rounds this cocktail.

Surely this version should be called a Bologna-Milano ?

Far more moderate than I expected for a drink that is literally 1/2 Campari. The Montenegro softens the bitterness very nicely. I am a heathen who often will forgo the garnish if I don't have it to hand, but having tried this with the orange I fully agree that it is a required ingredient to this cocktail's odds of success.

Nonino and Select. Very pleasant. Good rather than great. Nice with a splash of soda water, or fill a long glass for an Americano.
