The Boulevardier
"Boulevardier" roughly translates to "man about town," and this classic cocktail could not embody more easy sophistication if it tried. (But it wouldn't.)

Ingredients
- 1 ½ ounces bourbon or rye
- 1 ounce sweet vermouth
- 1 ounce Campari
- Orange twist to garnish
Instructions
- Place plenty of ice into a mixing glass.
- Pour in the bourbon or rye, vermouth, and Campari.
- Stir well until chilled.
- Pour into a single old-fashioned glass, garnish with twist of orange peel, and serve.
Notes
- Made with bourbon, this drink is a little bit richer. With rye, it's a little bit drier. It's fabulous either way — it's really up to you.
- Use a good-quality vermouth. We love Carpano Antica, Punt e Mes (which is more bitter), and Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino. Dolin is also a fine choice.
- If you'd like to serve this drink at a party, you can batch it by scaling up. Into a pitcher, pour 1 ½ cups bourbon or rye, 1 cup Campari, and 1 cup sweet vermouth. Add ½ cup filtered water. Chill well. Then pour individual servings into rocks glasses over ice.
