Lactose Free Boulevardier
This stirred cocktail is the kind of drink that makes you slow down and actually savor what's in your glass. Bourbon brings warmth and depth, Campari adds a bittersweet punch, and sweet vermouth rounds everything out into something that feels both bold and balanced. The technique matters here — stirring for a full 25 to 30 rotations chills the drink properly while adding just the right amount of dilution, so nothing tastes sharp or out of place. That final twist of orange peel isn't just for looks; expressing the oils over the glass adds a bright, citrusy aroma that ties the whole thing together. Since this cocktail is built entirely from spirits and a fresh citrus garnish, it's naturally free of dairy in any form — no cream, no butter-washed anything, just clean, classic ingredients. Whether you serve it up in a coupe or over a single large ice cube in a rocks glass, it looks and tastes like something you'd order at a serious cocktail bar.
