Mustard Free Boulevardier
This stirred cocktail is the kind of drink that makes you slow down and actually savor the moment. Bourbon brings warmth and depth, Campari adds a pleasantly bitter edge, and sweet vermouth rounds everything out into something that feels both bold and balanced. The technique matters here — a proper 25 to 30 rotations of stirring chills and dilutes the drink just enough without watering it down, giving you that silky, spirit-forward texture that makes this style of cocktail so satisfying. The finishing touch is the expressed orange peel, which releases fragrant citrus oils across the surface and adds a subtle brightness that ties the whole glass together. For anyone navigating ingredient sensitivities, this one is naturally free of condiments and spice blends — just spirits, a liqueur, and a fresh piece of fruit. It's an elegant pour that works equally well as a pre-dinner drink or a slow-sipping nightcap.
