• Mixing glass

• Jigger or measuring tool

• Bar spoon

• Strainer

• Rocks glass or coupe glass

1. Chill the Glass

• Fill your glass with ice or place it in the freezer to chill while you mix the cocktail.

2. Mix the Cocktail

• In a mixing glass filled with ice, add:

  • 1½ oz bourbon or rye

  • 1 oz sweet vermouth

  • 1 oz Campari

• Stir for 20–30 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.

3. Strain & Serve

• Discard the ice from the glass and strain the cocktail into the chilled glass over a large ice cube (for rocks) or into a coupe glass (for up).

4. Garnish & Finish

• Express the oils from an orange twist over the glass and drop it in, or garnish with a maraschino cherry for a sweeter finish.

• Stronger Profile: Use rye whiskey for a spicier, bolder flavor.

• Sweeter Twist: Substitute bourbon for a smoother, caramel-forward profile.

• Perfect Boulevardier: Use equal parts whiskey, Campari, and vermouth for a more balanced, less whiskey-forward drink.

• Coffee Boulevardier: Add a dash of coffee bitters for an extra layer of depth.

• Aged Boulevardier: Pre-batch and age the cocktail in a glass bottle for 1-2 weeks to mellow and integrate flavors.

• Food: Charcuterie, grilled steak bites, or blue cheese crostini

• Snacks: Spiced nuts, dark chocolate, or smoked almonds

• Dessert: Pecan pie, chocolate truffles, or orange-infused desserts
