Peanut 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 harsh or flat. That final twist of orange peel isn't just for looks; expressing the oils over the surface of the drink adds a bright, citrusy aroma that ties the whole thing together. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of peanuts and peanut derivatives, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden allergens sneaking into your cocktail hour. It's an elegant, bar-quality drink you can make at home with just a few bottles and a little patience.
