I've heard and read the name Boulevard over time in reference to classic drinks. Im not sure what I expected. This was sharp and distinct. It was smooth but not extraordinary and did not stand out in any way.

Quite sharp…I used The Bitter Truth Orange Bitters and would dial two dashes to one dash.

A spoonful of Luxardo cherry juice improved this IMHO.
