3-Minute Bartender: Boulevardier

In a few shakes of a lamb's tail, Dan tips his hat to the Boulevardier, that urbane cousin of the Negroni. Swapping out gin's juniper jab for whiskey’s warm embrace, this cocktail mingles sweet vermouth and bitter Campari, achieving a rich, ruddy hue. Conceived in the roguish Parisian circles of the 1920s, where expatriates like Erskine Gwynne heralded its creation, the Boulevardier whispers of smoky parlors and literary wit, an elixir not just sipped, but savored.
