Campari
The Campari-in-Americano cocktail was invented in Milan in the early 1960s. It is a descendent of a drink called the Milano-Torino, which used vermouth from Turin and Campari instead of soda water. In modern times, the Americano has been renamed to reflect its Italian roots.
The original Americano cocktail did not contain coffee, but it's often associated with James Bond. It was one of the first drinks that Bond ordered in the first Bond novel, Casino Royale. Although the Vesper martini is now the drink of choice for Bond novels, it was almost a century before the Americano cocktail.
