Description

The Boulevardier is a classic cocktail that was created by Erskine Gwynne, a magazine editor who lived in Paris, France in the 1920s and often drank at famous bartender Harry MacElhone's New York Bar. The recipe is considered a cross between the Negroni and Manhattan because it's made with equal-parts vermouth and Campari with whiskey as the base spirit, and it gained popularity when Harry eventually published the specs in his book Barflies & Cocktails.
