The Milano-Torino, also known as Mi-To is one of the most symbolic cocktails of late nineteenth-century Italy and the forerunner of the more famous Americano and Negroni.
Created at the Camparino bar in Milan back in 1860 by combining the two representative products of the cities of Milan and Turin, namely Campari and Vermouth, respectively.
The traditional recipe uses Punt e Mes, a Vermouth with a small dose of China (based on cinchona bark), very popular at the time.
Fill a mixing glass with ice and cool by draining off excess water.
Pour in the Campari and Vermouth and stir to dilute the ice.
Strain into a tumbler glass with ice and garnish with a slice or orange zest.
4.5 cl Bitter Campari
4.5 cl Vermouth Rosso
Orange slice or zest for garnish
