Press and awards

Cocchi Americano gained prominence from its use in James Bond's Vesper Martini 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.[8][9][10]
