Boulevardier of Broken Dreams
Inspired by the New York Sour and the Boulevardier, Des Moines based bartender Charley Johnson of Clyde's Fine Diner mixed up a cocktail sure to be a local classic. Charley lightened up deep flavors with fresh lime juice and created a rich, smooth mouth feel with the egg white. #incharleywetrust

Notes
Simple syrup is a 6 Degrees of Delicious pantry staple. Combine equal parts white granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
