Wheat 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 that signature bittersweet punch, and sweet vermouth ties everything together with a silky, herbal richness. The technique matters here — a proper 25 to 30 rotations of stirring chills the drink evenly while adding just the right amount of dilution, so nothing feels harsh or out of balance. 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 elevates every sip. Since every ingredient here is naturally grain-free in the gluten sense, this is one of those cocktails where you don't have to second-guess a thing — just build it, stir it, and enjoy. Whether you serve it up in a chilled 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.
