1pt Vanilla BLVD Recipe
1pt Vanilla BLVD
This twist on the Boulevardier draws depth from bourbon infused with vanilla rooibos, allspice, and clove, bringing a touch of spiced warmth to each sip. Campari’s bold bitterness and the sweetness of vermouth find balance in this rich, aromatic infusion, creating a cocktail that’s both smooth and intriguing. Perfect for batching, it’s the kind of recipe that elevates any gathering with a touch of quiet sophistication.
STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion
Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Spiced Vanilla Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of bourbon in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 3-4 hours, then strain, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails. (No need to refrigerate - infused spirits can be stored indefinitely at room temperature)
1pt Spiced Vanilla Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Vanilla Rooibos, Black Mao Feng, Allspice, Clove, Elderberries - no sugar, gluten, dairy, nuts, additives, or preservatives
STEP 2 - Mix Your Drink
| Ingredient | Cocktail (1) | Batch (6+) |
|---|---|---|
| 1pt Spiced Vanilla-infused Bourbon* | 2.0 oz | 375 ml |
| Sweet Vermouth | 1.5 oz | 9 oz |
| Campari | 1.5 oz | 9 oz |
Mixing Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a suitable glass, traditionally serving "up." For batching, combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice (adding 3 oz of water to mimic the dilution you usually get from stirring) and serve as desired.
Garnish:
Garnish with a black cherry (Luxardo) for a touch of sweetness.
STEP 3 - Enjoy!
For an Added Twist:
Try a dash of chocolate bitters to counterpoint the richness of the spiced vanilla infusion flavors.
