About
The history of the Pick Me Up dates back to the 1920s and 1930s, a period marked by the excitement of cocktail bars, particularly in Paris and London. It is in this atmosphere that the cocktail is said to have seen the light of day, notably thanks to bartenders working in renowned establishments.
It is often attributed to Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, an emblematic place of mixology where many famous cocktails were created. In this bar frequented by writers and artists such as Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, bartenders used to concoct mixtures specially dedicated to “waking up” night owls after drunken evenings.
