What is the bartender tip for a Coffee Boulevardier?
The classic Boulevardier swaps the Negroni's gin for whiskey and uses sweet vermouth; here coffee liqueur takes the vermouth's place, bringing roast and sweetness against the Campari's bitterness. Stir the full 30 seconds: dilution marries the coffee and whiskey and opens up the Campari. Liqueur quality matters — Cabra Lab, made with Brazilian coffees, has the body to hold up a stirred drink without over-sweetening it. The orange peel on the surface is essential; smoking it is a bonus that plays off the coffee and whiskey.
