Mancino's official Americano spec: equal parts Rosso Amaranto and Rinomato Bitter Scuro, topped with soda, served long over ice with an orange wedge. The Americano predates the Negroni by sixty years; this build returns to its original intent — refreshment with bitter character, not a watered-down cocktail.

A cedar twist over the top gives a forest-floor finish. A Negroni for the people who think they don't like Negroni.

Ian Fleming wrote the Vesper Martini for Bond in 1953 with Kina Lillet — a gentian-forward aperitivo that hasn't existed in its original form for decades. Rinomato's Vesper No. 2 restores it: equal parts gin, vodka, and Americano Bianco. The gentian and the bitter orange come back. The Vesper drinks like it was supposed to.
