The Americano cocktail originated in the 1860s at Gaspare Campari bar in Milan. It was initially called the "Milano-Torino" due to its main ingredients: Campari from Milan and sweet vermouth from Turin.

The cocktail was later renamed the Americano because of its popularity among American tourists in Italy.
