Learn to make a classic BOULEVARDIER recipe with Brian Van Flandern from WhiskEy Cocktails

Here is one of my favorite “goto” cocktails. Enjoy one tonight!

Boulevardier Recipe:

1 oz. Bulleit rye whiskey

1½ oz. Carpano Antica Formula sweet vermouth

½ oz. Campari

Glassware: Rocks or Coupe

Garnish: Orange twist

Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass. Add large cubes of ice, stir thoroughly, and taste for balance. Strain into the serving glass, garnish, and serve.

History: The famous Boulevardier cocktail became popular around 1927 at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, France in the midst of American prohibition. While it is often considered a Negroni, made with Bourbon instead of Gin, it is important to note that the recipe first appeared in print 20 years before the Negroni. It was the signature cocktail of Erskine Gwynee who named the cocktail after his monthly periodical, widely distributed throughout Paris.

Until our next cocktail together…

Bottoms up!
