Selection 4 "Risorgimento 5" Liquors

Don't miss an Americano, prepared with equal parts Aperitif and Vermouth, with the addition of a splash of soda: a symbol of the Italian aperitif. This drink, appreciated by all for its exceptional combination of flavours, represents an authentic expression of Italian tradition. 

The origin of the Americano is shrouded in mystery, with several legends tracing its birth back to the 1930s. Some argue that the name may be a reference to the famous Italian boxer Primo Carnera, loved and renowned in the United States in those years.

One of the most fascinating hypotheses places the creation and diffusion of the cocktail in the legendary Bar Camparino in Milan in the 1930s. However, this thesis seems at odds with the history of another famous cocktail, the Negroni, attributed to Count Negroni, who asked barman Fosco Scarselli to add gin to his Americano as early as 1919. 

Furthermore, the term "Americano" could be a variant of the name "Milano-Turin", a drink born in 1860 at the Bar Gaspare Campari in Milan, created by the creator of the famous Bitter. This drink was particularly liked by American tourists who visited Italy.

Other theories, although less documented, suggest that the cocktail could be a tribute to the boxer Primo Carnera, nicknamed "the American", or that the name "Americano" derives from the translation of "bitter", the Italian term for "bitter".

The Americano has the privilege of being the first cocktail requested by James Bond in Ian Fleming's book about the British spy, Casino Royale, thus helping to make the drink even more famous internationally.

To prepare an authentic Americano, follow this simple recipe: Use an old fashioned glass and follow the "build" preparation technique. Pour the ingredients into the glass with ice and add a splash of soda to make the cocktail even fresher and livelier. To finish, garnish the drink with a slice of orange, which will add an aromatic touch to your drink.

Experiment with high-quality ingredients, such as those offered by Risorgimento 5, to obtain a truly exceptional result. Preparing an Americano is easy and fun, and will allow you to appreciate all the elegance and history of this classic Italian cocktail.

The Negroni is one of the most renowned and loved Italian cocktails throughout the world. His story has its roots in Italy in the 1920s, when Count Camillo Negroni, an elegant and cosmopolitan frequenter of the prestigious Caffè Casoni in Florence, asked the barman Fosco Scarselli to make a change to his Americano.

The latter was a cocktail composed of vermouth, Campari and soda. The count requested that the soda be replaced with a "splash of gin", giving the drink a stronger and more enveloping character. The novelty immediately achieved success and prestige among the regular customers of Caffè Casoni, and the cocktail was soon recognized with the name of its inventor, thus becoming the famous "Negroni".

The Negroni recipe is simple, but the result is a unique mix of flavors: the sweetness of the vermouth, the bitterness of the Campari and the strength of the gin combine harmoniously, creating an unmistakable taste. The cocktail should be served in a low tumbler, filled with ice to keep it cool and refreshing.

For an additional aromatic note, it is traditional to garnish it with a scented orange slice. Today, the Negroni is considered an authentic symbol of the Italian aperitif, appreciated both nationally and internationally. Its popularity is largely due to its balanced flavor and ability to please a wide range of palates.

If you want to prepare a delicious Negroni cocktail, follow this simple recipe carefully. Start by filling a short tumbler with plenty of ice until you reach about 3/4 of the glass. Next, add a dose of gin, followed by a dose of Vermouth.

Finally, add a dose of Campari to complete the mix. Naturally with the artisanal products of Risorgimento 5: Juniper, Aperitif and Vermouth,  the result is crazy!  And voilà, your irresistible Negroni cocktail is ready to be enjoyed! Preparing it will be child's play by following these simple steps. Enjoy this classic Italian aperitif and let yourself be conquered by its unique flavors. Health!

Finally, discover the historic and perfect recipe for the Gin Tonic, a legendary cocktail that has its roots back in the 1700s. Originally from India and introduced by the English army as a medicine to fight malaria, this drink has become a true icon in the world of cocktails. The original recipe involved mixing gin (brandy) with water and ice to make quinine, used as an antimalarial remedy, less bitter. Over time, the recipe was perfected thanks to the invention of tonic water, which simplified the preparation of this cocktail.

For the creation of Gin Tonic, there is no single rigid rule for the doses of gin to be used. Some prefer a 1:1 ratio of gin to tonic water, for a stronger taste, while others opt for a more moderate mix, with one third gin and two thirds tonic water.

To prepare the cocktail, fill the chosen glass with plenty of ice, pour in the Ginepro Risorgimento 5 and add the tonic water. Squeeze a lemon wedge into the glass and garnish the cocktail with a slice of lemon. This cocktail is a true delight for the palate, thanks to the extraordinary combination of flavors and its fascinating history. If you want to enjoy a perfect after-dinner drink, accompany your Gin Tonic with our Risorgimento amaro, a fragrant product with an intense and extremely pleasant taste. Italian tradition merges with the art of mixology, giving you an unforgettable experience.
