Seasonal sips take a unique turn at The Americano, Food Network star and celebrity chef Scott Conant’s Italian-inspired steakhouse in North Scottsdale.
Its new summer menu is not only innovative but offers a nod to pop culture. For example, the Taylor Swift-inspired Miss Americana. (Tip: The Americano’s sister restaurant, Mora Italian, has The Heartbreak Prince cocktail so Swifties are able to get a taste of the beloved song “Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince”!)
The new offerings feature a variety of spirits, including mezcal, white vermouth, rum, and gin, and include the following.
- April Showers: Diega Rosa Gin, Ramazzotti Rosato, Genepy, Starlino, Cocchi Rosa, Lemon & Rhubarb Bitters ($18)
