Boulevardier Cocktail
The recipe for this classic variation on the Negroni, in which sweet, woody bourbon is used instead of gin, comes from bartender Ted Kilgore of St. Louis' Planter's House restaurant. The original version of the cocktail first showed up in the 1927 book Barflies and Cocktails, and is credited to Erskine Gwynne, founder of a Parisian literary magazine with the same name as the drink.
