Hey there, I am Jacob Allen from Beyond The Bayou Blog, your friendly cocktail enthusiast! Today, I mixed up a batch of classic Boulevardier cocktails that never fail to bring a smile to my face.
There is something about the blend of bourbon, Campari, and sweet vermouth that just warms my heart.
As I was stirring the ingredients, memories of a trip to Italy flooded my mind. I had the opportunity to taste authentic Italian Boulevardier made by a local bartender in a cozy bar named Fio.
The taste and balanced bitterness were simply so unique and It made me recall the joy of having Negroni.
That experience inspired me to perfect my own Boulevardier recipe, and I am excited to share it with you today. Let’s mix and savor a little taste of Italy together!
