Press and awards

Cocchi Americano gained prominence from its use in James Bond's Vesper as a substitute for Kina Lillet, which is no longer available.^[5] It is also used in the Corpse Reviver #2^[6] and in other cocktails.^[7]

Cocchi Americano is generally considered to be the nearest contemporary drink to the original Kina Lillet and is often used as a replacement.^[3][2][6]
