\"Cocchi<\/a>Meet the It Girl<\/em>
\nWith easy Piemontese elegance she will open your palate and please you. Derived from Moscato d’Asti, Cocchi (COKE-ey) Americano<\/a> has been around since 1891, around Italia anyway, but she hit the U.S in a Bordeaux style bottle about a year ago, and she has made a splash. This aperitivo alcolici opens with an almost syrupy taste of caramelized orange peel and finishes in a distinctly adult fashion with the bitter taste of cinchona bark. In between come aromatics and spice – a seductive blend reminiscent of cinnamon and star anise.<\/p>\n

Ask aperitivo devotees about it, and they will first wax poetic as they speak of the long gone Kina Lillet<\/a>. Their faces brighten as they turn to Cocchi Americano. Kina Lillet devotees are so pleased with Cocchi Americano, they have found it a most suitable replacement in cocktails that were originally made with their late lamented Kina Lillet. What James Bond\u00a0 fan could forget the Vesper<\/a> from Casino Royale<\/a>? Weep no more. The It Girl is here.

\nPer fare l’Americano<\/em>
\nWhen Italians mix this with anything, it is sparkling water. Standard proportions are equal parts Cocchi Americano and sparkling water over ice. For a boost try 2 to 1 Cocchi Americano to sparkling water. In our house Bart likes equal parts, while I go for a milder version – 1 part Cocchi Americano to 3 parts sparkling water. It is up to you. It’s your drink, after all. Finish it with an orange twist or slice. You can’t go wrong – start with equal parts and see where your taste buds take you. For an extra bitter kick, add a dash of Aperol. Summer’s on the way. Grab a bottle, perfect your proportions (I’m talking about the drink, not you) and dazzle your guests when you host an early evening Aperitivo get together.<\/p>\n

Bottles run from $18.00 to $20.00. Depending on where you live, Cocchi Americano may be a bit elusive. It is available from K&L Wine Merchants<\/a> in Hollywood, California.<\/p>\n
