    Mixology Lab: Artichokie? The Search & Rescue and The Boulevardier

    The Search & Rescue INGREDIENTS 1.25 OZ RYE .75 OZ RUBY PORT .75 OZ LEMON JUICE .5 OZ SIMPLE SYRUP .5 OZ CYNAR METHOD Steps Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.  Shake and double strain into a rocks glass. Created by Blake Pope, beverage director at Kindred Restaurant in Davidson, North Carolina, this ruby port-enhanced Whiskey Sour transcends trends and seasons. “I use Quinta de Novol’s ruby port—a younger style that’s jammy and rich—which gives this cocktail loads of body,” Pope says. “The port also softens and sweetens a bracing combination of overproof rye whiskey, lemon juice and the bitter Italian digestif Cynar.” Shaken together, the cocktail is downright addictive and amazingly good with Southern food like fried chicken and country ham biscuits. Boulevardier Ingredients 1 1/4 ounce bourbon or rye 1 ounce Campari 1 ounce sweet vermouth Garnish: orange peel Steps Add all ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and stir until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with an orange peel. Loosely translated, a boulevardier is a man-about-town. The cocktail by the same name was created by Erskine Gwynne, the publisher of “Boulevardier,” a magazine for expats living in Paris in the 1920s. It’s a tidy story, just like the drink it inspired. Equal parts whiskey, vermouth and Campari, the Boulevardier is both adaptable and adored for its balance of bitter, boozy and sweet. Choose your ingredients wisely. The best Boulevardier, like the best Negroni, hinges on a happy marriage between base spirit and vermouth.
