Boulevardier

This cocktail is the Negroni's long-lost, whiskey-based cousin. It was named after a 1920s magazine for expats living in Paris that was run by socialite Erskine Gwynne. Spirits columnist Jason Wilson recommends using a bourbon that's on the spicier side, such as Buffalo Trace, Four Roses or Russell's Reserve.
