In "One for the Road", one of the guys takes a quick
run at a topic for your reading pleasure. Themes will vary, from classic
drinks to hand-crafted ingredients and creations of their own, or
whatever suits them at the moment. This go around, John presents the Boulevardier.
Background
Sometimes at the end of a long day you just want a drink to help take the edge off, one that doesn't require too much fuss or thought. It's easy to turn to a glass of wine, a bottle of beer, or perhaps two fingers of your favorite scotch in such a time. But maybe, just maybe, you can rouse enough effort to pull together a cocktail.
The Boulevardier is such a drink to add to your repertoire. The basic recipe is a snap, the ingredients are standards of any well stocked home bar, and the end result is supremely satisfying.
