An ideal cocktail for Thanksgiving according to Helen Rosner

According to Helen Rosner, you will only need this cocktail for Thanksgiving: The Boulevardier. Here’s how to make it.

This cocktail was invented by… we don’t know who… but the first person to have his name next to the recipe was Erskine Gwynne. A young millionaire who traveled between Paris during the world wars. In addition to being good living and avid of literature.

To make chronicles of his experiences he created the magazine The Boulevardier. But his claim to cocktails appeared in Barflies and Cocktails, a collection of beverage recipes by Harry MacElhone, the owner of the renowned Harry’s Bar in Paris.

Deep, somewhat heady, with a bitter, spicy, and brilliant touch. That’s The Boulevardier. We show you how to prepare it.
