In the restaurant car, Bond ordered Americanos and a bottle of Chianti Broglio. Half an hour among the jabbering loudspeakers of Ciampino Airport, time to drink two excellent Americanos, and they were on their way again… The drink figures twice in the plot of From Russia With Love, both times while Bond is traveling. The liquor is usually on a 1-1 portion, poured over ice, and then the soda is poured over the top.
This drink consists of Campari, Sweet Vermouth and soda water.
In Casino Royale, while waiting for Mathis and Vesper, Bond enters the Hermitage bar, takes a seat by the windows, and orders an Americano. The Americano holds the distinction of being the very first drink James Bond orders in the Ian Fleming series.
