Cocchi Americano ( pronounced: /ˈkɔkki ameriˈkano/) is a quinine-flavored aperitif wine produced by Giulio Cocchi Spumanti in the Asti province of Italy. [2] Cocchi Americano is a variety of Americano. [3] The wine was developed by Giulio Cocchi, and production began in 1891. Cocchi also produces a pink variety of this aperitif, the "Cocchi Americano Rosa", which is slightly more bitter and aromatic than the standard white Cocchi Americano. [4]
Cocchi Americano gained prominence from its use in James Bond's Vesper as a substitute for Kina Lillet, which is no longer available. [5] It is also used in the Corpse Reviver #2 [6] and in other cocktails. [7]
Cocchi Americano is generally considered to be the nearest contemporary drink to the original Kina Lillet and is often used as a replacement. [3] [2] [6]
