BOULEVARDIER
- 1.25 oz. Ella Jones Bourbon Whiskey
- 1 oz. Campari
- 1 oz. sweet vermouth
Add all ingredients into a stirring vessel. Stir until ice begins to dilute(15-20 seconds). Strain into a rocks glass over ice. Express and Garnish with an orange peel.
The Negroni’s sophisticated bourbon-drinking sibling—bold, complex, and not here to play it safe.
If the Negroni is the life of the party, the Boulevardier is the one having the most interesting conversation in the corner. Swap gin for Ella Jones Bourbon Whiskey, keep the Campari and sweet vermouth, and suddenly you’ve got something richer, warmer, and impossibly smooth.
Our 100% Colorado grain-to-glass bourbon (75% corn, 15% rye, 10% malted barley) brings caramel sweetness and spice that plays beautifully against Campari’s bitter complexity and vermouth’s herbal depth. It’s stirred until properly diluted, served over ice, and garnished with expressed orange peel because the aromatics are half the experience.
Created in 1920s Paris at Harry’s New York Bar—the same spot that gave us the French 75—this cocktail is proof that sometimes the best innovations are the simplest ones. Take something great, make one smart swap, and let quality ingredients do the rest.
The Vibe: Parisian sophistication meets Colorado craft confidence
The Occasion: Aperitivo hour, whiskey lover gatherings, or impressing someone who thinks they know cocktails
The Move: Stir, don’t shake—this drink rewards patience and proper technique
A timeless classic, elevated with bourbon that respects the craft. Santé to that.
