Boulevardier | How to Drink
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 тра 2018
- On this episode of How to Drink, I am taking a look at a classic cocktail called a Boulevardier. The Boulevardier is a cocktail with origins in Harry’s New York Bar (which of course is in Paris) in the 1920’s. It’s a combination of Bourbon, Campari, and Vermouth. At its core it is a simple drink that really doesn’t need improving, so I present it here fair simple. Hope you enjoy, cheers!
Boulevardier Ingredients;
- 1.5 oz or 45 ml Sweet Vermouth
- 1.5 oz or 45 ml Campari
- 2 oz or 60 ml Bourbon
- Garnish with an Orange Twist & Cherry

I really have no idea how this is not more popular. What I love about this is how pure Greg is. Most shows like this feel fake, but this is real and fun. His passion for drinks is infectious!
That’s really nice of you to say
@@neomcdoom he's talking about how Greg is on the show man
@@neomcdoom bout time someone realized that im a snack ;)
Some Guy
Yes
I concur
How to Drink is a life advice channel. So many drinks I’ll be trying soon. I’m also happy that you guys are posting more again, I was sad without you in my life.
got kinda dark there for a second talking about your pops bar tab
There was a fair debate about including that
either way huge fan of the show, especially the tiki drinks been making Mai Tais and Zombies quite a bit lately.... How about a Hurricane episode soon?
I liked it.
Nice!
We’re all human
honest to God this is one of my favorite channels. never stop.
Thank you!
I love the close ups of the "sloshing" of the liquids from the measuring cup into the glass--the slow motion makes it seem so alive. Thanks.
I usually use equal parts of everything for this drink and just 1oz. My guests would be on the floor with this recipe 😂
I love coming across these old HtD episodes and seeing how much the show has changed and improved over the years. Think it would be kind of fun to see a new episode where you go back and look at some of these older videos and critique them/yourself both from a cocktail perspective and from a video craft perspective now that you've been running this channel for so long.
After I got into bourbons with the Manhattan and Old Fashioned, the Boulevardier became my favorite bourbon drink. I love the bitter and caramely sweet.
Great show, Greg!
They’re an acquired taste for sure, but in most cases all of this is. I really enjoy a boulevardier but it’s a certain kind of mood drink for me
Greg never change the theme song you use!
A trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Valentino Noah yup, been using flixzone for since december myself =)
Love this channel. Decided i dont want to be a bartender or own a brewery. So making amazing drinks as a hobby is very enjoyable. Favourite alcholic drink channel
5oz Boulevardier? Now that's some serious drinking.
It's a 2hour cocktail.
Just worked it out, 5oz in those proportions is equivalent to drinking a half bottle of wine. So not crazy if you do it slow and with food :) Just large and in charge for a cocktail!
Molo900 These specs are crazy...
Molo900 hahaha same thing I thought
After diluting it possibly 6oz. lol
You rock, Greg! Outstanding cocktail. Simple to make but kinda complex in taste. You Da Real MVP. And love how you release your vids on Friday’s. Keep me coming
i had to laugh when greg mentioned going to the bar, as a child, with his father...
i did too. i was in grade school in the 60's and my dad was a butcher in detroit's food district, the eastern market. now and then on a saturday we'd drive down to the eastern market... my dad would first stop by a slaughter/packing house to talk to various work pals. i'd seen so many animals - hogs and cattle - slaughtered, butchered, made into sausage that it was just a normal thing to me. after he made the rounds, we'd stop by some old school bar where it was all working men from the eastern market. i would get a prime seat at the bar... thrilled to have an ice cold coke in those little glass bottles and a small bag of kay's potato chips. i'd sit there and watch my dad bullshit with all these guy's he knew... buying each other rounds... and shooting pool. my old man was a very good pool player.
great childhood memories from a bar stool!
oops: lay's potato chips
When I was a kid not so long ago it was normal that I got big ceramic jug and ran to a pub to get beer for my dad and friends to have with lunch.
They would probably shoot you for that in US haha
Me too, only in my case it was with my grandfather. He'd sit me with a glass bottle coke and a bag of chips while he got wasted some with his old school bodies talking soccer all afternoon
I have to say I love the production quality. The pour and stir shots are always satisfying, yes, even if you spill all the time. 😉
Bro, that is the biggest Boulevardier I've ever seen!
I love that you put polls in the cards of your videos!
I love that this is today's ep. I went out last week and bought the components for negronis however I am still having difficulties training my pallet to see out the positives in the bitter flavors. I think that with the bolder, smokey, and more earthy notes of the bourbon I will be able to isolate the bitters better, rather than them coming off the back of the floral, juniper notes that the gin provides. Greg, thank you for this lovely and timley video and keep on keeping on.
I really loved the bit at the end where Greg is talking about complex and challenging flavors, and how you can CHOOSE to seek them out and acquire a taste for them. It's so dang true.
You've done a good job of lengthening these episodes and making them more informative.
Glad you like it!
My kids enjoyed Shirley Temples too. Only with an over abundance of cherries. Good stuff. Cheers!
I love the subtle tweaks you have made to the show! Always an instant thumbs up!
Thank you!
I can really relate to your description of bitter drinks and growing to like them along with unique tastes. Food and drink isn’t just about the flavors you know or are used to... it’s an exciting world out there. Also, those slo-mo close up shots! Amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just found this channel, the aesthetics and production values are utterly out of this world!
Kinda want to see some of that lost footage lol.
Just released it publicly on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/19030868
those slow pours!!! ugh, i love the editing. it always makes me happy.... and perfectly thirsty.
This is one of my favorites!
This is my favorite drink. Really dig the style of your video. Subscribed!
Glad you are back man, Showing your channel to all my drinking buddies!
Thank you! Out of curiosity, has youtube not sent you alerts on the previous episodes of this season?
This was a perfect video as I’m leaving the liquor store and wanted to learn how to make this cocktail for a dinner party tonight. Much appreciated
Only got into this channel recently. But I swear, the slow shots when you pour into your shot glass (I know that's not exactly what it is but thats the name my brain is using) are so damn satisfying. Honestly one of my favorite parts of each video. Let alone the knowledge imparted about drinking.
I’m only 15, but I can’t wait till I’m 21 to actually try these. Such a awesome show, glad you are back.
Lol move to my country, Germany, and you will only have to wait three years.
Damn. This is a big boy cocktail. I'm probably gonna try this out tomorrow night with rye. I like Negronis, and I've got Campari, and some sweet Vermouth that I need to use up. Thanks for the inspiration!
Just watched this and think i’m in love with this drink! Cheers Greg!
Love your show, keep em coming!
Thank you!
Love HTD and bitter flavors. Keep em coming!
welcome back !!! love !
Among my new hobbies during Covid, homemade cocktails have been the most fun. Started with two ingredient cocktails. May not get past three. Negronis and Boulevardiers. Gin, Bourbon, Campari, Aperol, red and dry vermouth. So many combinations. All so wonderfully wonderful.
Woopieh! Really nice to see you guys making this much quality content
Thank you!
Great drink. Great video. Love your channel man, the quality is outstanding.
Thank you!
Dude, the videography in this is CHAMP! The slowed down closeups are detailed and amazing. Big up!!
Boulevardier is the first drink I'm ordering after lockdown! Can't wait!!
Dude!!! I've had some weird night at both the Arrowhead and Idle Hour! Love your channel! Keep up the great work!
Greg, you have come a long way, sir! Lol, you can’t find Campari at a grocery store in America. Just hilarious.
Dude. Love this channel.
This is actually one of most funtime channels on youtube.
I agree.
My go-to cocktail. I throw in a few dashes of orange bitters to pull out some of the citrus notes from the Campari.
Great Vid. Love the constant amazing quality
Thank you!
Thanks for the metric measurements. The new world appreciates it.
Old world?
Love these! Can't wait to see your variation. Hope to age a batch in a barrell soon
This may go without saying for some, but the Boulevardier can also be made (and often is) with rye instead of bourbon. Both are great. Rye is especially nice in warmer weather or for those of us that like less sweetness in our drinks.
Loving the show! Lots of drinks I never heard of =D
Legit my favorite cocktail at this point
Oh man, these sound awesome. I'm going to make one, and watch the lost version.
Niceee.. i love the slow mo, it makes it majestic
Thank you! Hope you like the rest of the show too!
Favorite UA-cam channel
I love how simultaneously rich and refreshing Boulevardier’s are. Nice job with the coupe too, I like my Negroni’s down and 1:1:1, and Boulevardier’s up and 2:1:1
Good rules right there
I use to have my Boulevardiers with an artichoke vermouth, Cynar. Beautiful.
I'm intrigued!
I’m a new subscriber. Love your work ! Boulevardier is one of my favorites.
Thank you!
One of my favorite drinks! I usually do 1.5oz bourbon, 1oz sweet vermouth, .5oz Campari. I have some absinthe in a spray bottle and mist it over too
I've always been one to understand that even if I don't like something, especially when it came to growing up and learning to love different drinks, that when I do not like a drink, I will eventually. That's been my take on liquor and I'm glad you explained so well that something bitter and seemingly foul is not bad but simply challenges your palate and asks that you grow to love it.
You're a smart dude.
Thanks! I might just be too cheap/lazy to send it back/our it out though
How To Drink, For me it's usually,
*Take a sip and make a face*
*people look at me like I cant handle my liqour*
*continue to drink suppressing the bitter reaction and it starts to taste good*
Haha, that's one large boulevardier! Another great episode.
I always top mine off with a splash of Grand Marnier for one of my regulars. His recommendation, it's very lovely
Have you ever thought of after each season ends you release a recipe book which goes over all of the season’s drinks? Love your content, it has inspired me to do so much with drinks. Though I do hate having to go back to a video to look up a drink I have an itch to make that day.
I usually garnish with a lemon peel It brightens it up so nicely
Negronis and their variants evolve over time as you drink it.I always have them on one big 2.5 inch rock.I love all the Negronis
I am a big whisky fan. I could enjoy that drink anytime.
Just tried this tonight, and man, that was good.
I was just having one when I stumbled across this video... made it with canadian whiskey instead of bourbon. One thing I've noted - don't be tempted to add soda to this drink. It wimped it out and made a tasteless nothing. Enjoy its boozey bitterness. Cheers to you Greg!
I wish Greg would tell more stories like he does in some of his older videos like this.
Papa Greg with another one! Cheers!!
THANK YOU! This is my favorite drink to order at a cocktail bar or speakeasy. It's a good way to judge the skill of the bartender. Ask for a Boulevardier first, if they dont know it, ask for a Negroni with bourbon, and if they dont know that, just ask for equal parts! Now if they ask what Campari is, time to just walk away!
I too have used the Negroni as a "Do I want to drink here?" measuring stick.
One of my favorites.
Mine too!
That my #1 go to drink right now
Wow Greg you just blew my fucking mind with that pleasurable video. Keeping being you Greg!
my go to after work drink during our time of social isolation, Wild Turkey 101 works quite well not gonna lie
#toourfathers I wen't to the bar with my father all the time as a child too. I think it was a great wonderful thing, I learned the art of conversation and how to listen when someone really has something to say as well as how to shut someone up when they are talking bullshit. I learned how to cheat and not get caught, which lead me to getting good at math. I had so much fun being around adults as a child, it really made me mature quick and become a great man. Cheers, from Canada!
Where at in Canada? Spent a fair bit of time in the maritimes growing up, relatives up there.
You gotta start doing some drunken live stream shit because dammit we need to drink. Awesome vid as usual. And I agree, slow burner this one. Good ol' Boulevardier. Cheers
The section where he discusses “potable and non-potable bitters”, he mentions that you cannot purchase Campari in grocery stores “anywhere in the US”. In one state, you can…Louisiana. In Louisiana, you can legally purchase hard liquor in grocery stores. God, I miss living there…
Glad to see you back dude.
Been back for a little while now! And thank you!
Just finished my final exam at University so I happily drank along to this one. Cheers mate!
Congrats on finishing exams! You deserve it!
Beautiful
that deer is awfully menacing.... great video. i love how you talk about acquiring a taste for something. currently drinking an Enzoni and i'm not a huge fan of gin, but i let my mind explore the flavours and it now tastes a whole lot better. Thank you for that, great advice
Great Video, Keep up the good work!
I know you posted this a while ago, but I finally got myself a bottle of campari. I tried out the Negroni recipe, which is good-definitely a sipper. However, I loved this drink! So far this and the maple syrup old fashioned have been my favorite drinks.
proud of you guys greg. 137k subscribers! So sick. Been with you guys since 100k ago lol
Thanks man!
Oooo the idle hour. Definitely had some Shirley temples there 😂. Few whiskey drinks too...
One of my absolute favorites. Although with lemon vs orange. Some nice beauty shots of the SKX. 😏
A little too campari forward for me. So bitter (and not in the good, citrus way). I added a 1/2 oz of simple syrup and it mellowed right out. Perfect. Thanks, Greg, for the great channel!!! It has inspired me to really up my home bar game. Keep the videos coming :)
Last time I drank Boulevardiers, I wound up on the couch of a stranger who had "been abducted by aliens and given magic power". We listened to Genesis on vinyl until I passed out. Good times, we got tea at a cafe a few hours later and I projectile vomitted all over the walls of their bathroom. I had nothing to clean up with, so I just left a piece of paper in the sink saying, "my bad." and walked out without saying goodbye to my new buddy. I left Denver prompty.
This is pretty awesome dry, dry vermouth, as well!
You can use the dry vermouth for shrimp scampi
That's a damn good drink!!
At the bar with your dad as a kid - I see how the seed of drinking was planted. Cheers!
Greg, damn, this is a tasty drink! I used Johnny Drum and Carpano... I love your show!
For Campari beginners, Campari and Tonic is a good drink to start. The taste of tonic water definitely makes the bitter punch of Campari easier to handle.
Had my first one at a bar in Vancouver that only puts a red light out to advertise. I only found it because I got drunk and my glasses broke, and I lost my phone (for the second time, don't ask) and google's location information told me it was there, or at least my cab had been there and my phone was in the cab. I went there unable to see clearly and ordered a few drinks. One being a Negroni, and one being a Boulevardier. Excellent.
That deer still looks like it's pissed off at me. I don't know what to do. :/
Could you do a "drink making need to have" video, about a sensible basic selection of alcohol (and addatives) for mixing?
Shout out to the Idle Hour! I live in Brick, the next town over. And to the Arrowhead, which is in Brick, but I've never been there. That's crazy! Also, thanks, Greg, for another recipe I have to try!
Sounds like we probably went to the same Highschool
How To Drink I went to Brick Memorial. Tell me, are you a Mustang or a Dragon?
‘Stang. Though when I was there the horse was still standing on the corner of the roof, I gather they got rid of that years ago.
How To Drink They didn't have the statue when I went. That's pretty cool. I might've had some of the teachers you had.
Old Brick baby, Green Dragons 4Life!
This is my favorite cocktail. I personally feel that if you do 2oz bourbon (i 100% recommend Buffalo Trace), with one slightly underpoured oz of campari, and 1 slightly OVERPOURED oz of sweet vermouth, it is an IMMACULATE cocktail. It needs to be fully shaken with ice before serving, but its delicious.
This is also how I do it! 2:1:1 with full shaking (for less dilution), and a little less then 1 of Campari.
Love both the Nigroni and the bourbon varient called the Boulevardier
I went to Lake Placid this year for a ski trip, and there's a place I went to my last night for dinner. I'm not an aficionado of drinking, nor do I drink often, but I had a boulevardier for the first time, and it's one of my favorites next to disaronno and ginger ale.
have you tried disaronno muddled with an orange slice?
