Directions. Fill a rocks glass with ice and set aside. Fill another large mixing glass with ice. Add bourbon (or rye), Campari, sweet vermouth and orange bitters, if using. Stir until fully chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain the cocktail into the rocks glass and garnish with orange peel, if desired.
Method. Take your rocks glass and, using your jigger to measure, add the bourbon, Campari and sweet vermouth. Fill the glass ¾ with cubed ice and, using your bar spoon, stir the ingredients to combine and incorporate the ice. Top with more ice if necessary, then garnish with an orange twist or orange wedge.
The Correct Proportions for a Boulevardier. Although the recorded recipe for Gwynne's drink calls for equal parts of each ingredient, most bartenders nowadays choose to tweak the recipe a little (or a lot) in favor of the whiskey. I like two parts whiskey to one part each of Campari and sweet vermouth, which is reflected in the recipe below.
