Nightshade Free Boulevardier
This stirred cocktail is a beautifully balanced sipper — rich bourbon, bittersweet Campari, and silky sweet vermouth come together in a glass that feels both classic and indulgent. The whole thing is naturally free of nightshades, which can sometimes sneak into unexpected places, but here every ingredient is straightforward and clean. Stirring over ice for a full 25 to 30 rotations is the move that makes this drink — it chills and dilutes just enough to round out the edges without watering anything down. The finishing touch is a wide strip of orange peel, twisted over the glass to release its fragrant oils and draped along the rim for a little drama. It's the kind of cocktail that looks like it came from a serious bar but comes together in your own kitchen in under five minutes.
