Originally on the menu at Dutch Kills and created by Zachary Gelnaw-Rubin and Abraham Hawkins, the Bicycle Thief Cocktail became a favorite of New York City bartender Meaghan Dorman.

In my opinion, this French 75 variation is the best beginner Campari drink in history.
1 | oz | Gin | use Plymouth |
¼ | oz | Campari | |
½ | oz | Lemon juice | |
½ | oz | Simple syrup | |
1½ | oz | Wine (sparkling) or Champagne |
Shake all the ingredients (except the champagne and grapefruit twist) with ice, then strain into a flute. Top with champagne. Squeeze the grapefruit twist over the drink and discard. No garnish.
If you’re a fan of the classic Last Word, this citrusy cocktail will hit the spot. Chartreuse ups the herbacousness of this gin cocktail from bartender Andrew Volk.

¾ | oz | Chartreuse (green) | |

½ | oz | Simple syrup | |
Cherry | |||
½ | oz | Egg white | |

Dry-shake all ingredients without ice to combine, then add ice and shake again until chilled and foamy. Double-strain into a chilled glass with fresh ice; garnish.
