The French word Boulevardier translates roughly to “man about town,” an apt name for a chic cocktail that came into existence in Paris in the 1920s. It was invented at Harry’s New York Bar by a group of cocktail aficionados known as the International Bar Flies, bringing together bitter and sweet for a drink that has remained popular for almost a century.
