Ingredients
1½ oz Bourbon Whiskey
1 oz Sweet Vermouth
¾ oz Campari
What To Do
Combine all ingredients. Stir. Strain into a chilled rocks glass and garnish with an orange peel. I like to pour mine over a single large ice cube. Release oils from the orange peel and rub around the rim. Serve.
A Few Words
The Boulevardier (pronounced Bul-leh-var-dee-ay) is basically a Negroni with whiskey instead of gin. The drink is credited to Harry McElhone from Harry’s New York Bar in Paris in 1927. It’s a wonderful drink. Most recipes call for equal parts of each ingredient but I like to make mine a little whiskey forward, especially if you’re using a good whiskey. And since I used Hudson Baby Bourbon, I wanted to highlight this incredible spirit. Bitter but smooth. So so good. Cheers!
