Boulevardier

  • A powerful, bittersweet whisky cocktail that first appeared in 1920s Paris.  
  • The boulevardier was created in honour of Erskine Gwynne, a fast-living member of the Vanderbilt family who published a magazine called The Boulevardier
  • A less-famous, but equally delicious, cocktail to try if you’re a fan of negronis and manhattans. (Think of the boulevardier as a negroni, but with a great Canadian whisky instead of gin — or as a manhattan but with Campari instead of Angostura bitters.)

ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
J.P. Wiser’s 10 Year Old Canadian Whisky 1 oz.
Sweet vermouth 1 oz.
Campari 1 oz.
Orange zest for garnish 1
Ice cubes 3

instructions

  1. Add ice and all liquid ingredients to a cocktail mixing glass or shaker.  
  2. Stir until the liquid is very cold. Use a strainer to pour liquid into the glass. 
  3. Prepare your orange zest garnish by peeling a thin strip of orange. Squeeze it above the drink to release the oils from the skin, and drop it in or attach to the rim. 

Variations & tips

  • You can serve a boulevardier in two ways: “Up,” meaning in a stemmed cocktail glass with no ice and “on the rocks,” meaning in a short tumbler with fresh ice.
  • Perfect to serve on its own, or for enjoying snacks before dinner, or with dessert.  
  • To soften the bitter edge of the Campari, try a Boulevardier with J.P. Wiser’s Deluxe — it’ll add a little more toasted grain flavours to the cocktail, and a touch less spice than J.P. Wiser’s 10 Year Old.
