Boulevardier Twist

Description: This cocktail is a twist on the classic Boulevardier, which is similar to an Old Fashioned but with the addition of Campari. The Boulevardier Twist maintains the whiskey and sweet vermouth base, but adds a spicy kick with a homemade habanero syrup and a hint of cherry liqueur. Ingredients: - 2 oz. bourbon whiskey - 1 oz. sweet vermouth - 1/2 oz. habanero syrup - 1/4 oz. cherry liqueur - 2 dashes of orange bitters - Orange peel for garnish To make the habanero syrup, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, and 1 habanero pepper (seeds removed) in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture and let cool. To make the Boulevardier Twist, combine all the ingredients (except for the orange peel) in a mixing glass with ice and stir for about 30 seconds. Strain the mixture into a rocks glass with a large ice cube. Garnish with a twist of orange peel and enjoy!
