The Boulevardier cocktail dates back to the late 1920s, but it’s on the comeback in bars and restaurants. It’s simple and delicious and makes a great club kickoff.
The Boulevardier Cocktail is basically a winterized Negroni. Simply replace the gin of a Negroni with a whiskey or rye of your choosing. This drink can be sweeter when made with more Vermouth or made more bitter by increasing your Campari. The combination of these three ingredients is easy, delicious and ideal for sipping all winter long.
