Boulevardier

This is the Boulevardier, a classic cocktail invented by an American ex-pat during the Prohibition. Imagine you're a bartender in New York and Prohibition just became law, what would you do? One likely response is to move to Europe where people would appreciate your craft. This happened quite a bit actually. Harry McElhone moved across the pond, eventually settling in Paris where he would write Barflies and Cocktails in 1927. One of the cocktails in that book was the famed Boulevardier. The drink is attributed to Erskine Gwynne, another American expatriate who was true "man-about-town". He ran a magazine called The Boulevardier, which was for other american expatriates.

As these ex-pat bartenders worked their craft abroad, they began to experiment with more european ingredients, like Campari. The Boulevardier is a perfect example of this where American Bourbon meets an Italian Aperitivo. It may seem like a simple Negroni variation, but it's really more than that.

1.5 oz bourbon
0.75 oz sweet vermouth
0.75 oz Campari

Combine all of the ingredients into a mixing glass. Add ice and stir until arctic cold. Strain into a chilled coupe glass or into a chilled rocks glass with a large ice cube (whatever your preference). Garnish with a lemon or orange peel.
