The Boulevardier is a classic three-ingredient cocktail. It's a simple recipe made with bourbon, Campari, and sweet vermouth in equal parts.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz bourbon
  • 1 oz Campari
  • 1 oz sweet vermouth

Instructions

  • Use a vegetable peeler to cut wide strips of orange zest. Be sure to get just the orange part and none of the bitter white pith.
  • In a cocktail shaker, pour the bourbon, Campari and sweet vermouth over ice. Stir to chill, then pour through a strainer into a coupe glass.
  • Garnish with the orange zest and serve.

Notes

  • Generally, a Boulevardier is equal parts of each liquor. However, many bartenders adjust the ratios to make the bourbon more prominent. You can certainly do that, add ½ ounce extra bourbon and ¼ ounce less of the other two. 
  • This drink can be served on the rocks, if you prefer. 
  • See the post above for suggestions on which brand of bourbon to use and answers to more FAQs.
