Who doesn’t love a Boulevardier? The classic equal parts cocktail is so easily adjusted it can be modified to mix with any social situation or meal. It’s one of the quintessential whiskey cocktails that can easily be executed with rye or bourbon or even Scotch, Irish, Canadian whiskey or Gin. Though if you sub the whiskey for gin you’re actually making the Boulevardier’s father: the Negroni.
As stated above, this is usually an equal parts cocktail using 1 oz Whiskey (traditionally rye), 1 oz Sweet Vermouth and 1 oz Campari. The idea is to get an equal balance of spice, sweetness and herbaceousness, but this is where figuring out the ratios that work best with the ingredients you’re using comes into play. If you’re using herbal sweet vermouth like the Cocchi Doppo, that changes things. If you’re using a heavy 95/5 MGP rye, that can change things. The Boulevardier is all about finding the balance within your own tastes and ingredients.
