The Boulevardier is a classic cocktail born in 1920s Paris, often considered the cousin of the Negroni. It was created by Erskine Gwynne, an American writer and socialite who published a magazine called "Boulevardier" in Paris, which gave the cocktail its name.
Unlike the Negroni, which uses gin as its base, the Boulevardier employs bourbon whiskey, providing a deeper and richer flavor profile. The vanilla and caramel notes of bourbon meet the bitter herbal qualities of Campari, creating a complex yet balanced taste.
With approximately 24% ABV, it's slightly stronger than a Negroni, while the sweet vermouth adds an overall sweetness that makes it approachable. Made using the stir technique, it's served cold in an Old Fashioned glass with a large ice cube and traditionally garnished with an orange peel.
This cocktail is particularly suited for fall and winter, as the warm flavors of bourbon make it the perfect companion for cold weather. Highly recommended for whiskey lovers looking for a new cocktail experience.
The Boulevardier represents the glamour of the Jazz Age and the American expatriate scene in Paris, making it not just a drink but a piece of cocktail history.
