This cocktail is pronounced “bull-liv-ard-ee-ay”. Consider the Boulevardier as the french cousin to the Italian Negroni.

1 Ounce Campari
1 Ounce Sweet Vermouth
1 Orange zest coin for garnish (optional)

Notes

Compared to the Negroni, you’ll find that the Boulevardier is slightly less bitter and a little more sweet, and therefore more popular among Americans, with the Negroni more popular amongst Europeans.
Although the recipe calls for equal parts for all ingredients, some people enjoy bumping up their whiskey to 1.50oz. Again, it is entirely up to you.
