What is Boulevardier?
The Boulevardier is a classic cocktail made by stirring bourbon whiskey with Campari and sweet vermouth, with an ABV of approximately 25%.
Called "the Negroni with whiskey," it's a Prohibition-era masterpiece born in 1920s Paris.
The elegance of the Negroni combined with bourbon's warm vanilla and caramel notes delivers an even deeper, richer flavor.
Boulevardier ABV
Boulevardier has an ABV of approximately 25%, placing it in the higher range for cocktails.
Bourbon whiskey (40%) at 45ml, Campari (25%) at 30ml, and sweet vermouth (16%) at 30ml are stirred to create roughly 25%.
Similar to Negroni (24%) and Margarita (25%), slightly lighter than Manhattan (28%). Campari's bitterness smoothly wraps around the alcohol's sharpness.

Boulevardier Recipe
- Fill a mixing glass with ice.
- Add 45ml bourbon whiskey.
- Add 30ml Campari.
- Add 30ml sweet vermouth.
- Stir with a bar spoon for 20-30 seconds until well-chilled.

Using rye whiskey creates a spicier taste, while bourbon offers a smoother, sweeter profile. Stirring thoroughly until well-chilled is essential for the best result.
Boulevardier Taste
Boulevardier opens with Campari's bitter herbal notes and orange peel citrus.
Bourbon's characteristic vanilla, caramel, and oak then spread warmly, while sweet vermouth adds fruity sweetness and spicy finish. Softer and warmer than a Negroni.
Recommended for those who enjoy bitter yet rich flavors, or want something between a Negroni and Manhattan.
Boulevardier History
The Boulevardier was born in 1920s Paris. It's attributed to American writer and socialite Erskine Gwynne.
Gwynne published a magazine called "Boulevardier" in Paris, which gave the cocktail its name. In French, it means "man about town" or "socialite."
Enjoyed by Americans who left the US during Prohibition and settled in Paris, it was first created at Harry's New York Bar. It's an American variation substituting bourbon for gin in a Negroni.
