Cocktail Description
A boldly sophisticated take on the classic Boulevardier, this cherry-forward variation delivers a perfect balance of bitter, sweet, and fruity notes that will instantly transport you to an elegant speakeasy.
The Cherry Boulevardier combines the tart cherry notes of Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin with the rich herbaceous character of sweet vermouth, while the maraschino liqueur adds depth and subtle almond-like sweetness. Angostura bitters provide the necessary complexity, tying everything together with warm spice notes that complement the cocktail's fruity profile. This relatively simple drink requires only stirring, making it accessible even for novice home bartenders, though proper dilution is key to achieving the silky texture that elevates this cocktail. Perfect for fall and winter evenings or as an after-dinner sipper, the Cherry Boulevardier pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, charcuterie boards featuring aged cheeses, or hearty meat dishes like duck breast with cherry sauce.
