About the Cocktail

The Espresso Barrel Boulevardier takes the bitter-sweet backbone of the classic Boulevardier and darkens it with espresso, creating a drink that feels deeper, moodier, and slightly more modern while still staying spirit-forward. Koopers Family Rye Whiskey, vermouth, and bitter orange remain the core structure, and the coffee note works best as a layer of roast and texture rather than as the dominant flavor.
