Notes
Substitutes:
- Campari: You can use any bitter aperitivo of your liking to make this cocktail (like Select Aperitivo or Bitter Nardini to name just a few). If you’d like a less bitter alternative, Aperol is a good substitute. It's lighter but still brings that orange essence.
- Sweet Vermouth: Any kind of red vermouth can be used in this cocktail. For an extra touch of bitterness, vermouths such as Punt e Mes or Cocchi Dopo Teatro are also great in this cocktail. Feel free to experiment!
Making a Pitcher of Milano Torino:
- Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That would be 12 oz of Campari and 12 oz of sweet vermouth.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the Campari and sweet vermouth. Stir well. For a better result, you can refrigerate the mix for a few hours before serving (optional).
- Serve: Pour the mixture into ice-filled Old Fashioned glasses, garnish each glass with an orange twist or slice and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Campari Substitute: Opt for a non-alcoholic aperitif or for bitter soft drinks such as Crodino (prefer the red one) or San Bitter. To give it an additional twist, you can also make a simple syrup infused with orange and grapefruit peels; a drop of this syrup will give your drink an extra touch of both fruitiness and bitterness.
- Sweet Vermouth Substitute: Opt for a non-alcoholic sweet vermouth. These are usually widely available in liquor stores.
- Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes instead of the regular ingredients, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
