This 1920s cocktail is a bourbon-based take on an even older classic: the Negroni. It’s creation is ascribed to Erskine Gwynne, an American-born writer who founded a monthly magazine in Paris called Boulevardier, which appeared from 1927 to 1932.

When making citrus twists, a potato peeler will work in place of the handy-dandy channeling knives the pros use.
