Bicicletta

A low-proof Milanese aperitivo of equal-ish parts Campari and dry white wine, lengthened with a splash of soda over ice and crowned with an orange wheel. Bittersweet and softly fizzy, it sits somewhere between a spritz and a wine cooler — easy afternoon drinking by design. Folklore says it was named for the patrons who wove home on their bicycles after one too many during aperitivo hour.
