If you’re a fan of a negroni, you’ll definitely want to try a Boulevardier, made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, campari, and an orange twist.

My husband is a huge fan of negroni. He makes one nearly every night as a night cap. I’ve gotten used to the heady aroma of vermouth and campari. It’s a very distinctive drink.
The difference between a boulevardier and a negroni is the addition of whiskey instead of gin. It leads to a more robust taste profile, but the herbal aspects remain the same.
For me, there is a fine line with this cocktail. It can be very good when the chosen whiskey and the vermouth go well together. To find the perfect match, you might have to try a few.
It’s possible to use any whiskey (or whisky) you like. That might be Scotch, Bourbon, or you might also like a Rye.

My husband and I enjoyed these for a date night in over the weekend and loved them, thank you!
Hi Tawnie, glad you liked them!
I’ve never heard of this drink before, but it looks so easy to make. Can’t wait to try it!
My local BBQ joint replaces half the Campari with Gran Classico. It really rounds out the flavors.
That’s a great tip. Thanks Jason.
Estos cocteles son una delicia, y lo mejor es que cada vez que cambias de vermouth, ginebra o whisky, todo cambia por completo
Yes, I agree. You can get many different combinations depending on the different brands you put in.
