Boulevardier Cocktail
Basically a Negroni with bourbon replacing gin. The original 1927 recipe calls for equal parts, but I’ve previously favoured a 3:2:2 (45ml bourbon, 30ml rosso vermouth, 30ml Italian red bitter liqueur) recipe. Popular demand (see comments) has led me to adopt a 2:1:1 recipe as I have to concede it’s better balanced.
