Swap the Negroni's gin for whiskey and nudge the proportions, and you have the Boulevardier: deeper, rounder and a little sweeter, with Campari's bitterness still at its heart.
It originated as an obscure cocktail in late-1920s Paris, was largely forgotten for decades, was rediscovered in the late 2000s and became an IBA official cocktail in 2020.
