What is Bicicletta?
The Bicicletta cocktail is one of those quietly brilliant Italian aperitivo drinks that somehow feels both nostalgic and modern. Dry white wine and Campari come together with a splash of soda water to create something light, bitter, refreshing, and dangerously easy to sip. It’s the kind of drink that makes you slow down a little. Maybe that’s the point. This classic has roots in Italy’s aperitivo culture, where flavor, balance, and conversation matter more than high proof spirits.
If you enjoy low-ABV cocktails that don’t overwhelm your palate, the Bicicletta is a must. It sits comfortably alongside other wine-based favorites you’d find on HomeBarMenu, like a refreshing spritz or a citrus-forward aperitif cocktail. It feels perfect for golden hour, patio weather, or honestly any time you want a cocktail that won’t knock you off your own metaphorical bicycle. For more Italian-inspired drinks, check out the Aperol Spritz.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
