Midweek libations

Monday and Tuesdays are days when I fast and imbibe no booze.

Wednesday is my target, and usually a straight up Negroni is my welcome basket, alongside some great food.

I think this Wednesday I went for a Boulevardier, because I fancies some cocktail cherries.

How To Make: Boulevardier

IMG_4970

  • 35ml of bourbon
  • 35ml of Campari
  • 50ml of sweet vermouth
  • A dash of Angostura
  • Garnish with orange rind
  • Preferred glass would be a cocktail glass

The Boulevardier is the type of cocktail to go for when you can't make up your mind between a Negroni, or a Manhattan. My two favourite cocktails.

I make this with a little more sweet vermouth than most recipes suggest.

Stir the spirits together with ice in a glass mixing jug. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Use a citrus stripper to peel a rind of orange, but do this over the glass so that the oils from the skin coat the surface of the drink. Drape the rind over the edge of the glass.

Admire it's beauty. Then, straight up, smash it.
