Doc Pepe's Lab™ Barrel-Finished Boulevardier is made using a base of Rye Whiskey from Kentucky blended with our proprietary Italian-style Bitter Liqueur and Sweet Red Vermouth. The cocktail is then rested in ex-Bourbon barrels for 3 to 6 months, which impart desirable vanilla and caramel notes, as well as create a velvety texture and complex bitter finish.
This cocktail is recommended to be stirred with ice and strained into a chilled glass, and garnished with a fresh orange peel or Amarena cherry. It is also great on the rocks, or with a large ice sphere.
