A nutty riff on a Negroni with a lingering bittersweet hazelnut finish. The dark (high cocoa content) chocolate and orange slice garnish brilliantly befits this cocktail.

Topping this up with a couple ounces of tonic water makes for a particularly nice highballed Negroni variant.

GREAT drink, weird name. Ok, it’s from Munich; it’s a “Hazelnut Boulevardier,” what’s “Western” about it? The smell of dark chocolate (next time I’ll grate a little for more nose) works wonders with the hazelnut. Instead of Simon’s 2:2:2:1 ratio I used 6:3:2:2 (in quarter ounces) to tame the Campari and reduce the sugar. The hazelnut was subtle but discernible (could go 6:3:3:2) and it was still sweet and bitter enough. Maybe add cocoa bitters. I call my version “Boulevards of Munich.”

I didn't have dark chcolate at home and accompanies the drink with a pack of Toffifee (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toffifee) - caramel cups containing nougat, caramel and a hazelnut, topped with a chocolate button. I don't know about the availability of it outside Central Europe though. This was the perfect match. Of course you will largely exceed the nutrition value given here :-)

Gosh, have just tried this but with 100 proof Rye, Montenegro amaro, homemade Hazelnut Liqueur and Antica formula and it is scrummy. Thought I'd better write this before I have another.

Leon & Sander, may I ask how many drops of the orange bitters each of you employed? And, Calvin, what an interesting substitution!

Two, my standard “seasoning” ?

Really enjoyed this, but possibly a touch sweet as is (as others have said)

Haven't tried a Negroni I didn't like. This one was no exception. HAZELNUT negroni ! Like Andrew I was looking for something nice to do with Frangelico. Still want the bitter. Tried a few dashes Angostura Orange Bitters ; wasn't not an improvement but slight so I added about twelve dashes Regan's Orange Bitters. Interesting. What's that orange hazelnut confection? Immediately made another, this time with Punt e Mes rather than Antica Formula. Wow!

Very nice drink. I was looking for a good use of Frangelico. But, I think next time I might add a few dashes of orange bitters to up the bitterness and add a bit more complexity.

I made this, tried it, liked it, read your comment, added the butters, tried it again & absolutely loved it. The orange bitters somehow dialled down the bitterness of the Campari, which works for me.

Good tip
Tried it for the first time, with bitters. Definitely a nice balanced cocktail.
