Name: Boulevardier
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 servings
Ingredients: 1-1/2 ounces bourbon; 1 ounce sweet vermouth; 1 ounce Campari liqueur; Ice cubes; 1 orange peel strip

Made with bourbon, vermouth and Campari, the boulevardier is rich, bitter and spirit-foward.

Instructions

1 Shake up the liquors

2 Combine the bourbon, vermouth and Campari in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until the cocktail shaker is chilled and condensation forms on the outside, about 30 seconds.

3 Strain the liquids into an ice-filled rocks glass. Editor’s Tip: Use the largest ice cubes you can find. There are specially made ice cube trays that form very large ice cubes specifically made for not watering down cocktails. Small ice cubes melt too quickly and water down the drink.

4 Garnish and enjoy

5 Garnish with an orange peel and serve. Editor’s Tip: To create an orange peel twist, use a paring knife to cut a thin slice of orange peel, or invest in a channel knife. Roll the cut peel into a twist, and place it on the rim of your glass.
