About Boulevardier

The Boulevardier cocktail is a classic drink that's similar to a Negroni but swaps out gin for whiskey, adding a warmer, deeper flavor profile. It's believed to have been invented by Erskine Gwynne, an American-born writer who founded a magazine called Boulevardier in Paris during the 1920s.

The combination of the whiskey's warmth, the vermouth's sweetness, and the Campari's bitter and herbal notes makes the Boulevardier a balanced and sophisticated cocktail that's perfect for sipping as an aperitif or a relaxing nightcap.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!

This ended up being one I really loved. I've always been a fan of a good Negroni, but I sadly found myself out of Gin. I did a quick search on here and found that I could sub it out with bourbon and make a really nice alternative (Boulevardier). I loved it! While I still prefer the gin variant (classic Negroni), I have no problem keeping this one in my back pocket if I'm ever low on Gin again. I added a splash of Lime juice once and can verify it's a nice touch.
