"Boulevardier (cocktail) The boulevardier cocktail is an alcoholic drink composed of whisky, sweet vermouth, and campari. Its creation is ascribed to Erskine Gwynne, an American-born writer who founded a monthly magazine in Paris called ""Boulevardier"", which appeared from 1927 to 1932. The boulevardier is similar to a Negroni, sharing two of its three ingredients. It is differentiated by its use of bourbon whiskey or rye whiskey as its principal component instead of gin. Paul Clark, writing for the food blog Serious Eats, says, ""This isn't a Negroni. It is, however, the Negroni's long-lost autumnal cousin."" He continued: Recipes vary the"

Over time, those definitions of ""cocktail"" and ""sling"" have become archaic, as ""sling"" has fallen out of general use (other than in certain drink names), and ""cocktail"" can mean any drink that resembles a martini, or simply any mixed drink. The following are other variations on the classic Manhattan: Manhattan (cocktail) A Manhattan is a cocktail made with whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters.

The same cocktail appears listed as a ""Tennessee Cocktail"" in ""Shake 'em Up!"" by V. Elliott and P.
