Shade Thrower
A riff on a Boulevardier, best suited to late-night contemplation or, given the name, a hot summer's afternoon

I did like this. It's a good blend between a Boulvardier and a Black Manhattan, but can't decide which one it wants to be closer to.

Made with meletti and loved it.

Not to throw shade but it's only alright. The worst part is I don't know why, it feels like this list of ingredients I should love but something just isn't clicking for me.

Meh, it’s fine. I’d rather just go with the many different classics it riffs off of.

Interesting. Larceny bourbon, amaro jardinier, wermouth antica formula Carpano, Aperol…

Good but ordinary.

I hesitate to again be a Meletti fan boy here (it just skews)... But I just made this twice with Wild Turkey 101, Cocchi di Torino, and Campari... The second try with Meletti (first one Vecchio Amaro del Capo, twas fine) was a clear winner. Almost vastly different drinks...

I find the description of "a riff on a Boulevardier" interesting. Based on the proportions, this to me reads more like halfway between a regular and black Manhattan, with a small splash of Aperol.

Switch out the Rosso to Vya's sweet vermouth and it would be a lovely pairing.

This is exceptional. This will be one of my go-to nightcaps

Love this cocktail. Great combo of a boulevardier, black/manhattan. Found this on imbibe's website a year ago and it is one of put regulars.
Mine was Benchmark No. 8 bourbon (Buffalo Trace leftovers), Amaro Nonino, & Cappelletti aperitivo,
After a Bijou (à la Gordon), this was arresting. In a good way. Straight to the favorites list.
I like orange flavor, and so having only Nonino was not an impediment.
