Bicicletta

The Bicicletta is a bar standard outside the IBA list: 3 ingredients in equal parts, built in the glass and served in a highball. That makes 138 ml in the glass: a middling measure.

Ingredients

• 40 mlsoda water
• 40 mldry white wine
• 40 mlCampari

Method

1. Pour all ingredients into an ice-filled highball glass.
2. Stir gently.

Garnish: Garnish with an orange slice.

What it tastes like

bitter → sweet

Bitterness leads: 2.6 out of 10, carried by Campari. That makes it the 11th most bitter of 186.

round → sour

It tends round: 124th of 186 for acidity, and what little acid there is comes from dry white wine.

light → strong

Just 10.7% in the glass: lighter than 63% of the catalogue, and the volume has as much to do with it as the recipe.

Its closest neighbour is the Negroni Sbagliato: 92 out of 100 for similarity.
