Boulevardier No. 2
Delicately bittersweet with wine red wine notes and herbal complexity. (For the rouge quinquina, I used Raphaël, as per the original recipe.)

Another exercise in substitutions. Substituting Lillet Rouge for Dubonnet was easy enough, but I was initially stumped by the St. Raphael, which I've never seen. Decided to go with Tempus Fugit Kina L'Aero d'Or and therefore replaced the Campari with Tempus Fugit Gran Classico Bitter. A great drink that actually tastes like a Negroni/Boulevardier variation despite having only a red bitter in common. So why isn't it named something more fitting like, say, the "Boulevardier `a Carne"?
