The original name was Whiskey Cocktail as it reflected the characteristics of the classic cocktail formula laid down in 1806; spirit, sugar, water and bitters The proliferation of new liqueurs available to bartenders from the 1870s resulted in a treadmill of new 'improved' Whiskey Cocktails... but which also led to a revolt amongst those who yearned for the original drink.

Milano Torino is a controversial cocktail: no one really knows when it was created, but one of the most popular versions is that it was invented to celebrate the birth of the A4 motorway in 1932, although it is more likely that it was created with the advent of the great Italian school of mixing. At the beginning of the so-called "Short Century" there were few liqueurs available in the bars: the most famous were certainly the Vermouth of Turin and the Campari of Milan. Joining the two was then obtained the Milano Torino, prepared directly in the glass, with the addition of an orange zest.
