The Boulevardier is sometimes known as the whiskey Negroni. But this cocktail tastes more sophisticated and deeper in flavor than the classic Negroni.

Ingredients
1 ½ozbourbon or whiskey
1ozCampari
1ozsweet vermouth
Orange peel for garnish
Instructions
Chill a cocktail glass such as a coupe or a rocks glass with ice or place in the freezer. This cocktail can be served on the rocks or neat (without ice)
In a stirring pitcher (or even a measuring cup), combine the Bourbon, Campari, and sweet vermouth.
Fill the pitcher 2/3 with ice and stir until very cold, about 30 seconds.
If you are serving The Boulevardier on the rocks, place a large piece of ice or several small ones in the chilled rocks glass, otherwise remove any ice from the coupe glass.
Pour into the chilled cocktail or rocks glass and garnish with a long piece of orange peel that has been squeezed over the cocktail.
Recipe Notes
As with anything with Campari (and many citrus cocktails), if you squeeze the peel over the cocktail to release some of the oils, it will enhance the citrus notes in the Campari.
