How much Americano for 6 people — exact measures?
Exact Americano measures scaled for your guest count — ml per ingredient and short procedure.
Quick answer
Hosting 6 guests? One Americano per person scales cleanly: **dose × number of drinks**. Base recipe (30 ml Campari · 30 ml Sweet red vermouth) × **6** = your shopping list. Use the party buttons for 10 or 20 — the pain point is batch math before a summer terrace, not memorising IBA ratios.

- 180 ml
- Sweet red vermouth

⚠️ Drink responsibly.
Formula: base dose × number of drinks × glass factor. Non-ml items (splash, mint) stay per-glass notes. Spirits are not sold via our links — use the list when shopping locally.
How it works
We link **bar tools** (shaker, jigger, glasses) — not spirits (Amazon restrictions). Measure locally, mix with the short procedure below, and keep ice and fresh garnishes separate until service.
Frequently asked questions
What are the classic Americano proportions?+
Equal parts Campari and sweet vermouth (30 ml each), lengthened with soda — the lighter sibling of the Negroni.
How do I scale Americano for a party of 20?+
Set drinks to 20 — every scalable ingredient multiplies by 20 (and by glass size if you use large cups). Buy spirits with ~10% extra; soda and ice do not store like wine — prep ice in batches and top with fizzy mixers just before serving.
Can I premix everything ahead of time?+
Campari + vermouth can sit chilled for an hour; add soda per glass at service.
Do you sell the alcohol through this page?+
No — we only suggest bar tools (shaker, glasses, jigger). Buy spirits and vermouth from your local shop; the calculator gives exact ml for your guest count.
