Review:

The drink that led to both the Negroni and the Americano. Pause and enjoy its simplicity before progressing.

History:

Created at Milan's Caffè Camparino in the 1860's, the Milano-Torino is named after its original ingredients: Campari is from Milan (Milano in Italian) and sweet vermouth traditionally comes from Turin (Torino in Italian). It is said that later soda water was added to the Milano-Torino to create the Americano. The Milano-Torino also morphed into the Negroni with gin added.
