Milano-Torino

In the Sept/Oct issue of Imbibe, Jason Wilson explores the well-cultivated happy hour scenes of Milano and Torino, where bitter apertivi like Campari and Cynar reign the cocktail menus. We originally had three recipes included with the article, but space kept us limited to two, so we thought we'd offer up the third one here. This simple, traditional recipe beautifully blends the specialties of Milano (Campari) and Torino (Punt e Mes), thus the name. Essentially, it's a variation of the Americano cocktail that specifically calls for Punt e Mes.
