Cooking Notes
The classic Boulevardier cocktail, which substitutes rye whiskey or bourbon in place of gin, is another great "cold-weather Negroni."
1 oz of sherry
i have always loved negronis. my BF loves boulevardiers. we both love this drink. #happymedium
An orange twist works better if you want a wintery taste
Substituted Amaro angostura for St. Agrestis.
used 1 oz of amaro ciociaro, otherwise followed as written w/aviation gin and argüeso amontillado. the nuttiness and salinity of the sherry were a delightful counterpoint to the amaro, anchored by the herbaceous gin…even my Roman partner approved!
