Description

The Beer Boulevardier is a creative twist on the classic Boulevardier cocktail, which traditionally blends whiskey, Campari, and sweet vermouth. In this version, a splash of beer adds a surprising layer of depth and effervescence, creating a bold yet refreshing drink that balances bitterness, sweetness, and the richness of whiskey. This cocktail is perfect for adventurous drinkers who love both whiskey and craft beer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
  • 1 oz Campari
  • 1 oz sweet vermouth
  • 2 oz amber ale or IPA (depending on your preference for bitterness)
  • Ice cubes

For Garnishing:

  • Orange twist
  • Cherry (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Boulevardier Base:
    In a mixing glass, combine bourbon or rye whiskey, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Add ice and stir until well chilled.
  2. Pour and Top with Beer:
    Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice. Top with the amber ale or IPA, and stir gently to combine.
  3. Garnish and Serve:
    Garnish with an orange twist, squeezing it over the drink to release its oils. Add a cherry for a classic touch, if desired.

Notes

  • The type of beer you choose will influence the cocktail’s flavor. An amber ale will give it a malty, slightly sweet finish, while an IPA will add more bitterness and hop-forward flavors.
  • This cocktail can be served over a large ice cube for a slow, smooth dilution.
  • Feel free to adjust the ratios to your taste if you prefer more or less beer in your cocktail.
