THE NEGRONI SOCIETY - THIS MONTH

THE BOULEVARDIER
 

One of our all time favourite cocktails, and one we often reach for as the Winter months draw in...

THE BOULEVARDIER
The Boulevardier was first invented during Prohibition and was known as the signature drink of writer Erskine Gwynne. Gwynne left America for Paris in the 1920’s and became the editor of a monthly publication called (what else?) The Boulevardier.
 

“The three things that make a Boulevardier – Bourbon, Campari, and Vermouth, with a little twist”

HARRY'S BAR, PARIS

One of the best known bars in the world, the birthplace of the brilliant Bloody Mary, Harry’s has been serving incredible cocktails since 1911. Harry’s started life as a bistro which was purchased and converted into a bar by American jockey Tod Sloan. Called simply ‘The New York Bar’ the actual wooden bar itself was imported in from Manhattan, and a Scottish barman called Harry MacElhone was hired to run the joint.

In 1923, Harry bought the bar outright, added his name, and began to turn Harry’s into one of Paris’ most legendary watering holes.

And thus the legend began.
