Boulevard
Stir ∙ 3 min ∙ 29.7% ABV ∙
The Boulevard is a stirred whiskey cocktail of bourbon, orange liqueur, dry vermouth, and orange bitters, served up in a coupe. Warm bourbon caramel leads, orange liqueur adds a citrus-sweet lift, and dry vermouth pulls it back toward a crisp, wine-dry finish — a slow sipping drink for a quiet evening.

Tips
- Stir, never shake, with plenty of large cubes for about 30 seconds to fully chill and dilute without clouding the drink.
- Measure the bourbon, orange liqueur and dry vermouth precisely since the higher bourbon ratio can turn boozy if vermouth is skimped.
- Add the orange bitters last so their aromatic punch sits on top and integrates evenly during stirring.
- Express the orange twist over the surface to release its oils and discard the peel, then add the cherry as the garnish.
