Bartender Legend Dale DeGroff Makes Us A Bulleit Boulevardier

In celebration of the 80th anniversary of National Repeal Day last Thursday (Dec. 5) -- the day celebrated as the end to Prohibition -- we caught up with renowned cocktail expert and Museum of the American Cocktail president, Dale DeGroff. During our time with him, he made us a special drink, the Bulleit Boulevardier, while telling us a little about its history, maker, and what's behind it.

Known throughout the bartending community as "King Cocktail," he's authored some of the most famous cocktail books in American history, and has become a staple in NYC as the head bartender of the famous Rainbow Room, where he brought classic cocktails back to the Big Apple in the 1980's.

The recipe is as follows. For more cocktail recipes from Dale, goto: http://www.ballerstatus.com/2013/12/0...
