The French word Boulevardier translates roughly to “man about town,” an apt name for a chic cocktail that came into existence in Pars in the 1920s. It was invented by a group of cocktail aficionados known as the International Bar Flies and served at Harry’s New York Bar, bringing together bitter and sweet for a drink that has remained popular for almost a century.
Yield: 1 Time: 5 minutes 1½ oz. bourbon or rye whisky 1 oz. Campari or other bitter aperitivo 1 oz. sweet red vermouth Orange or lemon twist Instructions In a mixing glass filled with ice, stir together the whisky, Campari, and vermouth. Stir well to chill, then strain into a chilled coupe glass. Express the oils of the orange twist over the surface of the cocktail before dropping it in the glass, then serve immediately.
