Pronounce cocchi?

A local bartender interviewed in the SF Examiner gives a recipe for a
cocktail that includes an aperitif called Cocchi Americano. How do you
pronounce Cocchi? Cokie? Cocky? At most of the bars in my
neighborhood, I'd rather not greet the bartender with "I'd like a
Cocky Americano, please."
The interview is here, and be aware, the bartender expresses his low
opinion of dirty martinis, claiming that they taste like a dishrag. He
doesn't say whether he did a blind taste test.

Wikipedia's pronunciation guide says the equivalent of "cocky."

If it's intended to be Italian, then COKE-kee.

"Cocchi" fails to auto-detect as a word in any language in Bing
Translator, and is not a word in my Italian dictionary. However,
"cocchio" means coach or chariot in Italian. If this is the implication,
then in my experience cocktails so named are variations of a sidecar.

(If it's an Italian name, then "cocky" is almost certainly not how
it's pronounced.)

concerned with how to pronounce Gibson than how to pronounce Cocchi.
But if I want to buy a bottle of Cocchi Americano, I'd like to sound
at least as sophisticated as when I ask for a bottle of merlott.
Likewise if I want to try Cocchi Americano straight, at a bar, before
I buy that bottle.
But if Travis James is right, then when I get to the bar, I'll have to
request a straight Cocky Americano. And who knows where _that_ might
lead!?

would guess one solution would be, even it's unsophisticated, just find the
bottle of it at the back of the bar and then just tell the bartender that
you just want a glass of that aperitif (while you point at the bottle).
Problem solved.
Of course, if you just want to purchase a bottle of it without sounding like
a boob, the solution is even easier. Just order it online:

have on hand See's Gift Certificates from Costco. Saves around 20% IIRC
when ever you want to buy some See's candies.
Also, many places of employment get a corporate discount at select See's
shops, like that one on El Camino Real in Sunnyvale (near Bernardo). The
corporate discount sometimes is better than the discount one can achieve
through the Costco gift certificates.

Thunderbird on both for my Usenet habit. What's handy is if you put your
profile in a Dropbox folder, everything stays in sync (read posts,
killfiles, ignored threads). The only thing to remember is to shut down
Tbird when finished or you get file conflicts.

iPad-specific version.

didn't care for it. What I meant to say is **my** iDevices are Usenet
free. I get what I want from Usenet via my 8-10 hours, 5 days a week
(and then some more on the weekend) at a PC or Mac.
The ba.* groups are dying a slow death. ba.food has held its own. One of
the liveliest (sp?) groups was ba.broadcast. I've read and lightly
participated for years. It seems to have finally petered out.
ba.internet is getting pretty darn close too.

lost. It was in the pocket of a pair of pants I had already
searched twice. Mental decline ... sigh. My apologies. (I

send a url to a blog post that this imposter has posted to?
(It might be me, but the search function finds nothing.)
