THE BOULEVARDIER



The Boulevardier image

A marvel of a cocktail with an enviably colorful peerage, the Boulevardier is effectively a cross between a Manhattan and a Negroni. In colder months, it's a magnificent drink to have as a fallback when you want something richer and more complex than just a whiskey but can never seem to think of what else to order. It's composed of two parts American whiskey, with one part each of sweet vermouth and Campari. Taken one way, it's a Manhattan with a portion of Campari swapped in for the regular few drops of Angostura or other aromatic bitters. Seen the other way, it's a Negroni with whiskey in place of the gin.

2 ounces rye or bourbon
1 ounces Campari
1 ounce sweet vermouth (I love a half and half mixture of Cinzano Rosso and Carpano Antica Formula).

Steps:

  • Stir ingredients together in a mixing glass filled with ice, strain into either a stemmed cocktail glass or a rocks glass with ice, to preference. Garnish with a twist of lemon zest.

BATCHED BOULEVARDIER

Some drinks are meant to be made and consumed immediately, others benefit from aging. The Boulevardier - a wintertime Negroni that substitutes bourbon for gin - swings both ways. Give this blend of bourbon, Campari and sweet vermouth time to mesh in a tightly sealed bottle in the fridge and the drink's texture skews softer and more velvety. This batch recipe is lightly diluted, enough to enjoy the drink up, without ice, but not so much that it can't be enjoyed over ice. One rule to follow: If you're letting the batch sit for more than two weeks, leave the water out and add it the day you're serving. Otherwise, marry it all, let it sit and drink as desired - or needed.

Yield 6 (4-ounce) drinks

Number Of Ingredients 5

9 ounces bourbon or rye whiskey
6 ounces Campari
6 ounces sweet vermouth
3 ounces filtered water (or up to to 4 1/2 ounces water, if you prefer a more diluted drink)
Orange peels, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the bourbon, Campari, sweet vermouth and water in a spouted measuring cup or pitcher, or a medium bowl. Pour the cocktail blend, using a funnel if needed, into a 750-milliliter bottle; seal and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 2 weeks.
  • To serve, pour 4 ounces Boulevardier into a lowball or coupe glass. Holding an orange peel by its long edges, skin facing down into the glass, pinch the peel to release the citrus oils, then add it to the glass and serve.
