Milano-Torino
Sometime’s a cocktail should be simple, really simple. Nothing is easier than the Milano-Torino. Originally made in 1932 to celebrate the inauguration of a highway between Milan and Turin and thus having one ingredient from Milan (Campari) and one from Turin (Punt e Mes). The glass is designed by Agustina Bottoni in 2018 as a tribute to Milanese architecture.
