Boulevardier

Description

The Boulevardier was first recorded in the 1920s by Erskine Gwynne, an American expatriate in Paris. It is essentially a Negroni with bourbon instead of gin, adding a deeper, richer complexity to the drink.

The combination of bourbon, Campari, and sweet vermouth makes it a perfect choice for those who enjoy a bold, bittersweet cocktail.
