About the Bicicletta
The Bicicletta is a classic Italian aperitivo that combines dry white wine, Campari, and soda water for a light and refreshing drink. Originating in Italy, this cocktail embodies the spirit of aperitivo hour—a time to stimulate the appetite, enjoy good conversation, and relax before dinner.
Similar to the Aperol Spritz, the Bicicletta offers a more pronounced bitter bite due to the Campari and is perfect for fans of herbaceous flavors. The choice of dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc, elevates this simple yet elegant drink. Served with orange wheels for garnish, the Bicicletta is best enjoyed on a sunny patio or as a way to bring a touch of Italy to your own home.
