Bicycle Cocktail

Cultural Context

The Bicycle Cocktail is a classic American drink that emerged in the early 20th century, reflecting the cocktail culture of the time. Named for the popularity of cycling during that era, it combines the crispness of gin with the herbal notes of dry vermouth and a hint of citrus from orange bitters. This refreshing cocktail is often enjoyed at social gatherings and has seen a resurgence in modern cocktail bars, appealing to both classic and contemporary tastes.
