Smoked Boulevardier

The Boulevardier cocktail recipe derives from a French background with a Kentucky influence. The cocktail was named after Erskine Gwynne, publisher of the Paris magazine called The Boulevardier. The simple yet classy cocktail is crafted with bourbon whiskey, sweet vermouth, apéritif and an orange twist for a garnish.

Put a Spin on the Classic Boulevardier

To put a spin on the classic Boulevardier, use The Smoke Boards Kit to smoke your cocktail. You can smoke the full cocktail after mixing it, or just smoke the bourbon whiskey before mixing the Boulevardier. The smokey flavor compliments the bittersweetness of the apéritif. You can use any apéritif such as Aperol or Campari. Here’s how to make it:
