Recipe — Winter Spice Boulevardier

Ingredients

10 ml Le Sirop de MONIN Winter Spice
30 ml bourbon
20 ml Italian bitter (e.g. Campari)
20 ml red vermouth
Ice cubes + 1 large ice cube (for serving)
Garnish: Orange peel or a thin slice of chili

Method

Fill a mixing glass (or a sturdy glass) with ice cubes.
Add all ingredients.
Stir gently until well chilled (about 15–25 seconds).
Strain into an old fashioned glass over one large ice cube.
Garnish with an orange peel (express the oils over the glass) or a small piece of chili.

Serving tips

Extra winter vibes: use an orange peel and rub it along the rim of the glass.

Softer taste: choose a slightly milder red vermouth or stir a bit longer for more dilution.

Spicy twist: finish with chili garnish – subtle is enough.

Variations

Negroni-style: replace the bourbon with gin for a spiced winter Negroni.

Smokier: use a lightly smoky whisky instead of bourbon.

Lighter aperitif: serve “up” (without ice in the glass) in a chilled coupe.
