Boulevardon

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon (New Holland Beer Barrel Bourbon)
1 oz Averna
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
Instructions

Stir, strain, serve up... garnish with cherry or olive

Notes

I prefer this with a couple drops of Bittercube Cherry Bark Vanilla Bitters

History

A far less bitter interpretation of the classic Boulevardier. The bourbon/averna combination brings out more roasted and biscoty notes--especially when using the New Holland Beer Barrel Bourbon. A sweeter, warmer version of its bitter cousin

  • Added Cherry Bitters -- might really shine more with vanilla bitters. MC thought the Averna flavors were a little "thick"

What to do when you don't have the suggested bourbon? That was my predicament with the Boulevardon, so I used an ol' standby, Elijah Craig. The outcome was a drink that was too sweet for my tastebuds, which surprised me because I tend to like drinks on the sweet side. But this drink was too sweet, and the bourbon was w-a-y in the background. I rated the drink at 3.0.

So, I made two changes, one of which was significant. Using the same proportions, I used Averna, Dolin blanc vermouth (the major change), and Jim Beam Black (98 proof). The result? Great. Not too sweet and the bourbon was right where it belonged (front and center), without overpowering the other ingredients. I rated this libation at 4.0!

The lesson learned? In this case, switch from a sweet vermouth to a blanc or blanco vermouth and use a high proof bourbon. Doing so should give you a satisfying libation.

  • Made a variation with what I had on hand; tequila instead of mezcal, simple syrup instead of Agave and doubled the amount of Gentiane (Salers)
  • Substituted size with compare. A little too sweet, but on the right track

It's a bit too sweet, halve the agave to balance.

Fatigue Variation No. 1

1 oz Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross
1 oz Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
1 oz Maraschino Liqueur
Instructions

Shake, strain, up.

Notes

I'm not certain that this is an equal parts drink, but that would fit the Fatigue theme and its purpose: "The team explained that this was meant to be a combination so unique, that it would be novel even to the trained palate of a bartender."

I thought it was so original that i needed to try despite ranking.

I made a test with 1/4 each on rock. And thought it has potential. It reminded to me some kind of a Brooklyn... Or a Swee' pea from Craig E of kindred.

I've made this, stired in OFD with ice:

1 oz aged jamaican rum,  (>60%), 1 oz knob creek rye,  (>60%), 1/4 bittermens orange citrate, 3/4 maraschino liqueur (Cartron), 1/2 orange wine, 1/3 dolin white, 2 dashes ango. Good stir.

You need strong rum and rye , and luxardo. My maraschino is a bit  too soft to counter the aroma of orange bitters.

The result is quiet good. 4 stars according to me.  You should try for sure.

Thanks to Rafa for posting it.

Notes

Toby Maloney: "This drink was created by a bartender for bartenders at the end of shift. It tastes very different after you have straw tasted 150 citrus drinks and 100 brown and stirred. You have serious palate fatigue, thus the name, and you need something with HUGE flavors. Trust me this is really tasty at 2:30am on a Friday night. "

  • Didn’t sufficiently annihilate palate before imbibing.
  • Turns out an ounce of Angostura is the way to tame an ounce of Maraschino. It's certainly bold and interesting!
