Negroni-7/10 This was my first campari experience, and it didn't thrill me. Too sweet and bitter at the same time. It was fine, but I'm doubtful I'll make it again until I forget that I've had it.
But then I had this bottle of Campari sitting around, so I was like, okay, let's try some more drinks.
Boulevardier- 9/10 I'm guessing this is because I'm just a whiskey person (it's just a Negroni, only bourbon instead of gin), but this is damned good. I moved from the 1:1:1 ratio that some recommend and instead poured just over 2 oz of Makers Mark (I don't have any solid rye whiskey in the house right now) and a little more than 3/4 oz of the sweet vermouth and campari, then added a lemon twist. It has the feel of an old fashioned, only with more of a hard edge (old fashioneds are great, but are really about making the whiskey sweet more than much else) from the campari. It's full bodied with a kick, the blood red look is only icing.
