Boulevardier
So your Negroni game is tight. You think you have your go-to late summer cocktail…try this version: use your favorite bourbon instead of gin (I like the Wild Turkey 101) and combine 3 parts whiskey with 2 parts Campari and 2 parts Carpano Antica vermouth. Stir with ice and strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with orange slice.
Products used in this recipe:
Wild Turkey 101. 750ml is $25.49, and the 1.75L is $43.99.
Campari. 750ml is in the Bottle Club® for $25.99, and the 1L size is $36.99.
Carpano Antica vermouth is $34.99 for the 750ml size.
Fernet Swizzle
Complexity is my favorite attribute in a cocktail. So this is my jam. ½ oz. of simple syrup, ¼ oz. of ginger juice – literally pressed ginger root, ¾ oz. lime juice, 1 ¼ oz Milagro Reposado Tequila, 1 oz. of amontillado (Lustau Los Arcos is perfect) and ¼ oz. Fernet Branca into a glass two-thirds filled with crushed ice. Use a swizzle stick to stir until cold (get it? That’s why it’s called a swizzle!). Next, fill the glass until heaping with more crushed ice. Put 3 dashes of Angostura bitters atop the ice. As the ice melts the flavors really marry to create a fiesta – this is one you won’t want to miss. Pro tip: If you can find them, muddle the first three ingredients with makrut lime leaves at the beginning for an intoxicating aroma that elevates the cocktail even further.
Products used in this recipe:
Milagro Reposado Tequila, $32.49 for 750ml.

Cheers!
