Head to head
Americano and Negroni side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
The same Campari and sweet vermouth, finished two ways. The Negroni adds gin; the Americano adds a splash of soda instead, which makes it lighter and fizzier, with about half the alcohol of a Negroni.
By the numbers
The Americano uses soda water where the Negroni uses gin; both have Campari and sweet vermouth. In parts, an Americano is 1 Campari, 1 vermouth and 1 soda; a Negroni is 1 gin, 1 Campari and 1 vermouth. By volume, the Americano is 67% fortified wine and bitter and 33% mixer and juice; the Negroni is 67% fortified wine and bitter and 33% spirit.
The Negroni is the stronger drink in the glass (21.3% ABV against 11.4%) and holds more alcohol (1.35 standard drinks against 0.68). The Negroni has more calories (about 179 against 113), with the same sugar (11.7 g each). Both are built and served in a rocks glass.
