Pickle Blood Orange Americano Cocktail

"Pickle blood orange Americano cocktail is a pickle twist on the Americano highball cocktail. The pickle blood orange Americano swaps out the usual soda water for a fermented blood orange soda, flavoured with cinnamon, made with a ginger bug starter, paired with equal parts of Campari and Sweet Vermouth served over ice and garnished with fresh blood orange, for a flavourful low alcohol cocktail. The pickle blood orange Americano cocktail is a refreshing long highball drink that has a delicious and complex flavour from fermented blood oranges, ginger and cinnamon. The Americano is a highball version of a short Italian aperativo from the 1860's Milano-Torino referring to the place of origin of the two core ingredients Campari and Sweet Vermouth. The Americano adds soda water to lengthen the Milano-Torino and was popular with American tourists during Prohibition. This pickle version swaps out the plain soda water for a fermented blood orange soda for a punch of sweet tart citrus flavour that pairs wonderfully with the bitterness of Campari and herbal complexity of Sweet Vermouth."
