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.
1 | oz | Gin | |
1 | oz | Campari | |
1½ | oz | Grapefruit juice | |
½ | oz | Lemon juice | |
1½ | oz | Seltzer or soda water | |
½ | oz | Simple syrup |
Shake and strain over fresh ice into collins glass, top with soda water.
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.
I was determined to make tequila and champagne like each other.
1 | oz | Tequila | use Tesoro Blanco |
¼ | oz | Campari | |
¼ | oz | Creme de cacao | use Marie Brizard |
½ | oz | Vermouth (dry) | use Dolin Blanc |
1 | tsp | Ginger syrup | |
½ | oz | Lemon juice | |
1½ | oz | Wine (sparkling) or Champagne |
Shake over ice and strain into flute. Top with champagne, no garnish.
Sam Ross of New York’s Attaboy created this recipe as “the love child of a Negroni and a Manhattan,” sort of an extra-bitter Boulevardier.
1½ | oz | Bourbon | |
¾ | oz | Campari | |
¾ | oz | Vermouth (sweet) | |
2 | dash(es) | Chocolate bitters |
Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing glass with ice, then stir for 25–30 seconds, or until well chilled. Strain into a coupe. Garnish.
