  • Elderflower and grapefruit play well, but too sweet and too much elderflower.
  • Way strong on the elderflower
  • Good but a bit on the sweet side.

Shawn C commented on 9/08/2023:

The linked original recipe says "5-7 drops" of the bitters, rather than 5 dashes. Any idea on what the author prefers/intended? (I realize the base spirit volume has been increased as well.) The same occurs with the author's other cocktail with the same bitters, "Amaro Amore", where 3 drops are in the facebook post, but 5 dashes is in the recipe posted here.

  • Juiced with the skin on this was just beautiful green in the glass. Otherwise simple but solid.
  • Like a more interesting daiquiri (but the bit of salt from the muddling also brought a margarita to mind). Nice use of agricole. — ★★★★★
  • Accessible and refreshing. Cuke is complemented by melony/pear flavors from the St. Germain and bright tropical fruit. — ★★★★★

Cocktailian commented on 8/16/2013:

Made w/ Smith & Cross (not sure if that's an appropriate sub), and a cucumber simple syrup. Had to boost the lime, but a great drink

DrunkLab commented on 8/16/2013:

Glad you liked it! Smith & Cross doesn't taste like a white agricole, but it checks off the important agricole boxes of strong, earthy, and funky, so I can see why it worked here.

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"

MOJO1229 commented on 4/01/2017:

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
