The Brychan Boulevardier
Like the Negroni, the Boulevardier is an alcohol forward cocktail. Feisty, strong - there is absolutely nowhere to hide for a spirit that is anything less than excellent, which is why this is such a great showcase then for the first blended Welsh malt whisky - Brychan.
The Boulevardier is a staple of every bartender's repertoire - and it's very straightforward. The key is to use excellent ingredients, in the right proportions, for this classic whisky cocktail. The lack of mixers, juices, sugar syrups means that there is nothing to mask the alcohol - which makes it the perfect serve for Brychan.
