Cocktail Description
The Citrus Boulevardier takes the brooding intensity of its classic cousin and brightens it with a sunshine burst of fresh citrus.
This refreshing twist maintains the sophisticated bitter-sweet backbone that Boulevardier fans love while introducing vibrant orange juice and lime cordial that transform it into something more approachable. The Campari provides its signature ruby-red bitterness, while the dry vermouth adds herbal complexity without the traditional whiskey heaviness. Perfect for summer afternoons or as an aperitif before dinner, this cocktail works beautifully when you want something slightly less potent but still complex. It's straightforward to prepare - just a quick shake with ice - making it accessible for home bartenders of any skill level. The Citrus Boulevardier pairs wonderfully with salty snacks like marcona almonds or olive tapenade, and it stands up nicely to richly flavored appetizers like prosciutto-wrapped melon or smoked salmon crostini.
