\"Boulevardier<\/a><\/p>\n

Boulevardier – A sophisticated, worldly, and socially active man; a man who frequents fashionable places; a man-about-town.<\/p>\n

\"Mixing-640x634-1237_649\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you in the mood for a cocktail? A Negroni, perhaps? Ah, what say you? You have had too many Negronis of late? What, they are just everywhere, too trendy? Oh, but you still want one, or maybe some thing with an even bigger punch. Running with the big dogs, are you? Well, then try a Boulevardier. Mais oui, ma certo, a Boulevardier – like a Negroni but lose the gin (I’ve said that before) and replace it with (get ready) bourbon. Yes, bourbon. The bourbon lends the drink a voluptuous smoothness that was a complete surprise to me. You simply have to try it. I am thinking this is not a cocktail for every woman, but it is surely a cocktail for every man.<\/p>\n

\"Boulevardier<\/a><\/p>\n

Boulevardier<\/em><\/h4>\n

1 oz. bourbon
\n1 oz. Campari<\/a>
\n1 oz. sweet vermouth<\/p>\n

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass 3\/4 full of ice. Stir well, at least 30 seconds, to combine and chill. Strain into a cocktail glass. Serve at once.<\/p>\n

\"Luxardo<\/a><\/p>\n

Garnish: orange slice, lemon twist or cherry* (for the ladies)<\/p>\n

And I have said it before, but do try Cocchi Vermouth<\/a>. To celebrate its 120th anniversary last year The House of Cocchi re-introduced their wonderful vermouth. Buy a bottle and imbibe. Here in LA I found it at K&L Wines and Mission Liquor. It may not replace your treasured Carpano or beloved Punt e Mes, but it is a prize, most certainly. And if you are not going to use it quickly, vermouth is best stored in the refrigerator. Believe it.<\/p>\n

\"Luxardo<\/a><\/p>\n

*One detail – if you opt for a cherry, please use nothing other than the real deal – Luxardo Maraschino cherries<\/a>. These are not the neon darlings that adorned the Shirley Temples of old. These are real Marasca cherries, a variety of sour cherry, dark, almost black, preserved in a heavy syrup of Maraschino liqueur. Details count.<\/p>\n
