Ingredients
- 45 ml Rye whiskey e.g. Rittenhouse, Bulleit Rye, Old Overholt
- 30 ml Campari
- 30 ml Sweet vermouth e.g. Carpano Antica, Cocchi di Torino
- Garnish Orange peel
Preparation
- Stir all ingredients with ice.
- Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
- Garnish with orange peel. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
Origin Story
The Boulevardier cocktail, a classic, is believed to have originated in the 1920s, likely in Paris, as a whiskey-based twist on the Negroni. Its enduring popularity reflects the timeless appeal of rye whiskey in cocktails.
