Creating a Milano Torino with @uefa_official 🍹
Created at Milan’s Caffè Camparino in the 1860’s by Gaspare Campari, the cocktail as a way to flog more of his eponymous red spirit. It certainly worked, 150 years later we’re still consuming vast quantities of it and its derivatives.
The two ingredients are Campari (from Milan), and Sweet Vermouth (from Turin). Hence the name Milano Torino, although some people now refer to it as the Mi-To.
In the 20th Century it would eventually morph into the Americano, which would then spawn the Negroni which we know and love today.
On the occasion of Nations league finals, @uefa_official asked Head Mixologist @michele_lomba to talk passionately about this centuries-old drink while matches are taking place exactly in Milan and Turin!
“Milano e Torino, perfetti serviti assieme…” 🥃
