Campari
The Campari-in-Americano cocktail was invented in Milan in the early 1960s. It is a descendant from a drink called The Milano-Torino which used vermouth made from Turin and Campari rather than soda water. In modern times, the Americano has been renamed to reflect its Italian roots.
Although the original Americano cocktail didn't include coffee, it is often associated with James Bond. It was one the first drinks Bond ordered in Casino Royale. Even though the Vesper martini became the drink of choice in Bond books, the Americano cocktail predates that by almost 100 years.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. For this drink, we're going to use Cognac, which is a French distilled spirit made from fermented grapes. It is clear in most cases, but it can sometimes be aged in oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of granulated syrup. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Let it sit overnight. Strain out sugar crystals by using cheesecloth. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
Our Brandy Alexander Cocktail will be made with Cognac and simple syrup. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. After shaking vigorously for 10 secs, strain the mixture into a chilled martini. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
