  "history": {
    "key": "cocktail.americano.history",
    "default": "The earliest examples of this mixed drink came in bottles, manufactured in Italy by industrious vermouth and amaro (Italian for bitters) producers. Later in the early 20th century, customization of the basic formula ensued as folk became particular about which vermouth or amaro filled their glass, and whether ice or soda was added to the mixture. It's better therefore to view the Americano as a concept rather than a rigid formula. Contemporary recipes see equal parts Italian vermouth and amaro served long, with ice and club soda. And when you look at the primary function of today's Americano—an aperitif—this makes perfect sense. Vermouth and amaro are too sweet for pre-dinner drinking, but chilling, diluting and carbonating them tackles this problem head on. And what you're left with is something well... perfect."
