Thanks to your newsletter I have begun more experiments and I have found the 1:1:1 mix of rye, sweet vermouth and Cynar to be my favorite cocktail these days, replacing the Manhattan on most nights.

I am still trying different rye, vermouth and Cynar combinations.

My favorite so far is Whistle Pig 6 year old, Cocchi di Torino, and 50/50 Cynar 70 and regular Cynar in a 2:2:1:1 combination. I have tried various bitters and a dash of the Xocotoal Mole by Bitterman’s add a hint of chocolate without overpowering the drink.

I am going to try adding a bit of extra rye instead of the overproof Cynar and see how that goes!

Your frozen Boulevardier is on regular rotation at our house. So delicious!!!

Tonight, the first night of Negroni week, I raise a glass to you... a 1:1:1 Boulevardier with Eagle Rare, Cocchi vermouth, and Campari over good ice...
