Description: Essentially a Negroni with bourbon standing in for gin — bitter, boozy, and equally balanced across three ingredients.
Cultural Background: First published in a 1927 cocktail book by Harry McElhone of Harry's New York Bar in Paris, credited to American writer Erskine Gwynne.
Tips: Equal parts is the classic ratio, but many modern bars lean the bourbon slightly heavier for a spirit-forward version.
Variations: Use rye instead of bourbon for a spicier, less sweet result.
Serving Suggestion: Serve over one large cube to keep dilution slow.
