About Boulevardier
The Boulevardier is a classic cocktail that originated in the 1920s, often associated with French and American mixology traditions. It typically combines bourbon or rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Campari in equal proportions, served over ice or neat with an orange twist garnish. Containing about 206 calories per serving, the Boulevardier provides minimal protein, carbohydrates, or fats, offering negligible micronutrient content. Alcohol contributes the majority of its caloric load, while the vermouth and Campari provide the drink's distinctive sweetness and bitterness. It is celebrated for its rich, complex flavor profile that balances boldness and elegance.
Health Benefits
- Alcohol in moderate consumption may increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels, contributing to cardiovascular health.
- Sweet vermouth contains small amounts of polyphenols, which may act as antioxidants.
- Campari's bitter herbs and botanicals could aid in stimulating digestion before meals.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store bottled ingredients in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate sweet vermouth after opening to preserve its flavor.
