As the weather gets cooler, our cocktails get warmer.

The Boulevardier is just one of those beverages; the mix of bourbon whiskey, Campari, and vermouth does just the trick when temperatures are chilly to the bone. Whether you’re a Negroni aficionado or whiskey lover, we are giving you the low down on the top ten whiskeys that will slip seamlessly into the classic Boulevardier recipe.

The Classics – The bourbons that will never let you down.

Woodford Reserve

A real go-to, whether at the bar or at home, is Woodford Reserve. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey has all the flavors you want: honey, vanilla, toffee, and spice. Its slightly lighter body allows it to mingle effortlessly with the other ingredients without stealing center stage, giving your Boulevardier some finesse at an excellent price point.
Old Forester 1870 Original Batch Bourbon

The indomitable character of Old Forester ‘never gets old’ as their slogan goes. But, when you want to switch up your usual bourbon in your Boulevardier, the 1870 Original Batch is waiting for you. It’s a more citrus-forward bourbon, easily complimenting Campari’s bitter orange nature. Its velvety body only adds more enjoyment, leaving a mild but present kick of spice with every sip.

FEW Bourbon

This newcomer to the bourbon community stands out with its unorthodox origins. Made right outside Chicago, it’s not your usual bourbon. However, that doesn’t make it any less great. The recipe carries all the classic traditions of Kentucky Bourbon, with grain from a different, much chillier terroir. The result? An exciting, extra spice-driven rye that adds a much-needed winter twist to your Boulevardier.

Four Roses Single Barrel

Another bourbon staple, Four Roses rarely fails at making a Boulevardier delicious. Their single-barrel bourbon brings elegance to your cocktail without losing any strength. Its fruity and mocha character will love up to the Campari and sweet vermouth, while its high proof will provide the warmth you need to make this signature fall/winter drink.

The Ryes – For those who like a Boulevardier that has a little more sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Rittenhouse

One of the most reliable ryes around, Rittenhouse steps in with the classic rye character and 100 proof you need to concoct the best ‘cozy by the fireplace’ Boulevardier. It’s spicy and toasty, with undertones of candied citrus that play nicely with the strong character of Campari.

Knob Creek Rye

This 100-proof rye is a go-to guy. It’s a full-flavored, rounded rye that is just as soft and sweet as it is spicy, lending a nice balance to your Boulevardier. But, if you’re looking to change up your usual recipe, try Knob Creek Smoked Maple Rye, adding a kick of hickory you didn’t know you needed.

The Beverly High Rye

Looking to elevate your Boulevardier? The small batch barrel-strength rye comes in strong, literally. At 116 proof, this expertly crafted whiskey shines with its meticulous blending, yielding a rye that’s as delectable as the butteriest holiday dessert. Its sweet spice and nuttiness bring the mountain chalet, ‘chestnuts roasting on an open fire’ vibes straight to your bar.

The Other Guys – A mix of other, out-of-the-box whiskies to shake up your Boulevardier recipe.

Monkey Shoulder Scotch Whisky

The malt flavors of this Scotch whiskey were born for mixing. It slips in sneakily to bolder drinks like a Boulevardier, without disjointing the other intense ingredients. When mixed just right, Monkey Shoulder’s warm vanilla honey flavors add a sweet touch to your Boulevardier recipe.

Redbreast Tawny Port Cask Edition

We aren’t sure if you’re ready for an Irish Boulevardier. With Redbreast’s latest Tawny Pork Cask Edition release, you’re in for a new sultry winter cocktail. This whiskey’s charming buttery, almost salted caramel flavors may seem a little daring, yet, they do magic in a Boulevardier, creating a cocktail you want to sip when those temperatures really dip.

Great Jones Straight Rye

For those looking for something really new to try, Great Jones lends a cosmopolitan air to your Boulevardier. This may be a bourbon, but it was born in the Big Apple, made with 100% New York State-grown grains. Its velvety vanilla flavors are complimented by an exciting balance of white and black pepper, all of which turn your Boulevardier into an exciting dance of the senses.

Paint the Town Mango Cocktail Competition

Mango Shotta, mango and jalapeño flavored tequila, spices things up at Tales.

After an exciting journey of creativity and competition, the winner of the Paint the Town Mango Cocktail Competition hosted by Mango Shotta and Chilled Media was crowned. Angela Wood with her winning cocktail I Shotta the Sheriff and winning shooter, Sizzle and Spice spiced out the competition during a live event at this year’s Tales of the Cocktail in NOLA.

We ask Angela to discuss the creative process behind her I Shotta the Sheriff cocktail.

Can you tell us a bit about the inspiration behind your winning cocktails?

I Shotta the Sheriff, is all about combining classic flavors with a modern twist. My inspiration is from the timeless elegance of a New Orleans style cocktail, but I wanted to create something that could stand out against the current trends and flavors. The cocktail was inspired by the rich history of New Orleans, a city famed for its vibrant cocktail culture and the classic Sazerac cocktail. By adding Sazerac Rye, the drink pays homage to the traditional Sazerac, while Mango Shotta introduces a contemporary twist, infusing the drink with a tropical, exotic flair that contrasts beautifully with the whiskey’s spiciness. The idea was to create a cocktail that honors traditional sophistication while incorporating fresh, innovative elements. It’s a blend of old and new, coming together with the aim of delivering a balanced and memorable drinking experience.

What was your creative process like in developing your cocktail? Did you face any challenges?

The creative process for me often starts with a concept or theme. In the case of a cocktail featuring Mango Shotta, it was important to me to find out where this product has history, and it being a Sazerac product out of New Orleans provided a solid foundation for creativity.  That’s exactly when I knew I would be creating my cocktail with both ingredients.

One of the main challenges was to achieve a balanced flavor profile. Too much mango might overpower the rye, while too little might make the cocktail too harsh, and I would lose the profile of the featured ingredient. So, the key was to adjust quantities and introduce additional elements like citrus, amaro, and Luxardo to refine the balance while still following the requirements of the competition. In the end, I was surprised at how well it all went together, and I genuinely LOVE my cocktail.

How did you incorporate Mango Shotta into your cocktail in an innovative way?

The cocktail combines the traditional spiciness of rye whiskey with tropical mango and jalapeño, an unexpected pairing that creates a complex taste experience. The addition of lemon juice and amaro bridges the gap between the sweet mango and the bold rye, while Luxardo adds an extra layer of sophistication. Creating a blended cocktail with a mango-jalapeno tequila, and a robust rye was innovative, in my opinion.

What advice can you give aspiring bartenders who would like to enter cocktail competitions?

It is extremely important to read the competition guidelines carefully and to understand the theme, ingredient restrictions, time limits, and judging criteria. Craft a compelling story or concept behind your cocktail. This helps engage judges and makes your entry memorable. Be clear and confident when presenting. Explain the inspiration, ingredients, and preparation method. Also, show enthusiasm for your creation. Passion and knowledge can make a strong impression. Practice making your cocktail multiple times to ensure consistency in taste, presentation, and technique before creating it live in front of the panel. Focus on the visual appeal of your drink. The right glassware, garnish, and pouring technique can make a significant difference.

Choose garnishes that complement the cocktail and enhance its visual appeal. Think about color, texture, and how they fit with the overall theme. Stay updated on cocktail trends, techniques, and new ingredients. Don’t be afraid to experiment and push boundaries! Innovation often comes from trying new things and taking creative risks. But make sure it makes sense. Everything must have a cohesive place from beginning to end. And be ready to explain that so that your judges can understand and experience your vision clearly and nothing is lost in translation.

How will winning this competition impact your career?

Winning a competition brings recognition from peers, industry leaders, and the media. It positions you as a standout talent in the bartending world and can significantly impact your career by enhancing your visibility, credibility, and opportunities within the industry. It provides a platform to advance your professional journey, expand your network, and pursue new and exciting career paths. With that being said, I am ready for these opportunities!

Share a memorable moment during the competition that stood out to you.

One particularly memorable moment from a cocktail competition that stands out to me was the moment I saw the judges’ reactions to my final presentation. After weeks of preparation, the day of the competition arrived. The venue was buzzing with energy as the four other bartenders from around the nation showcased their creations. I had carefully crafted my cocktail, with a story that tied together the traditional and the modern.  When it was finally my turn, I stepped up to the presentation area, heart racing with a mix of excitement and nerves.

As I prepared the cocktail, I could feel the eyes of the judges on me, observing every move. As I finished making the drink and placed it in front of the judges, I took a deep breath and began to explain the inspiration behind the cocktail. I shared the story of how I wanted to blend the classic spirit of New Orleans with a modern twist using Mango Shotta and blending it with Sazerac Rye and my other ingredients to create a fusion of history. One that has been long, and one that has just begun, to create a cocktail that can be served and respected beside its predecessors.

The most memorable part was the judges’ reaction as they took their first sips. Their eyes lit up with surprise and delight. One judge commented on the perfect balance. Another noted how the Luxardo added a subtle layer that tied everything together beautifully. Seeing their positive reactions and hearing their compliments was incredibly gratifying. It encapsulated all the hard work and creativity that went into preparing for the competition. It was a validation of the effort, experimentation, and passion that had gone into crafting the cocktail. That connection with the judges, where they appreciated and enjoyed the cocktail, made all the preparation and anticipation worth it.

What will you take away from this experience?

Winning the Mango Shotta cocktail competition at the Tales event in New Orleans, has been a transformative experience for me. It’s a validation of my skills and creativity, showing that my unique approach to mixology resonates with industry experts. This win not only boosts my confidence but will also open exciting opportunities for collaborations and future events. The competition also provided invaluable networking opportunities, allowing me to connect with influential leaders who can contribute to my continued growth.

On a personal level, it has been a journey of getting to know myself, revealing strengths I hadn’t fully realized and teaching me resilience under pressure. This victory gives me a platform to influence and inspire others, whether through mentorship, sharing my story, or advocating for important causes. Additionally, being part of such a high-caliber event has exposed me to new ideas and trends, fueling my creativity and inspiring future innovations in my craft. I am so grateful for Chilled Magazine. This is my second national competition win and I never knew how much opportunity was out there until I joined this community.

Passionate entrepreneur and philanthropist John Paul DeJoria, the self-made billionaire and founder of Patrón Tequila and Paul Mitchell hair care, has announced the purchase of Waterloo Gin, the first gin brand distilled in Texas.

Developed by Treaty Oak Distilling in Dripping Springs, Texas, near Austin, Waterloo Gin was launched in 2009, named after Austin’s original name – Waterloo – before the city was rechristened in the 1830s for Texas pioneer Stephen F. Austin.

Waterloo Gin is celebrated for its outstanding quality, craftsmanship, and distinctive flavor profile that beautifully reflects the Texas Hill Country. The brand’s flagship, Waterloo No. 9 Gin (94 proof), is crafted in the New American style, using nine locally sourced botanicals, including lavender, grapefruit, and pecan. The other offering in the Waterloo lineup, Waterloo Antique Gin (also 94 proof), is aged for two years in first-use medium char American white oak barrels, maturing under the Texas sun to develop rich wood flavors that enhance the herbal notes of the original Waterloo No. 9. Both varieties of Waterloo Gin are naturally free of gluten, carbs, and additives.

“Waterloo is an extraordinarily high-quality, innovative and world-class spirit, a gin I’m certain that people will enjoy,” says DeJoria, who founded Patrón Tequila in 1989 and built it into a $5.1 billion business when it was sold to Bacardi in 2018.

“I’m very honored for the opportunity to help grow this incredible brand, and share Waterloo Gin with more bartenders, retailers, and consumers all across the country.”

The company will be led by CEO Justin Meigs, who was previously an original member of the Empress Gin executive team that launched and grew the brand to over 260,000 annual case sales in 5 years, prior to the company’s exit in 2022.

“I’m incredibly excited about this new chapter for the Waterloo brand, now in the capable hands of John Paul DeJoria and his talented team of spirits industry veterans,” says Daniel Barnes, the founder of Waterloo Gin at Treaty Oak.

“Their deep industry experience and passion for cultivating and growing brands gives me great confidence that Waterloo Gin will continue to flourish and reach new consumers everywhere.”

Though the recipe, production process, and brand name for Waterloo Gin will not change, the brand packaging and imagery will undergo a comprehensive refresh, with expanded national distribution, early next year. Currently, Waterloo Gin is available through Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) in Texas and Breakthru Beverage in Florida. Additionally, customers in other states can purchase Waterloo Gin online at www.waterloogin.com/shop-gin.

“In warmer weather, its citrus tones and botanical floral flavors are enhanced by the bright, clean notes of the gin. The brioche and minerality in the wine add excellent complexity and energy, making it perfect for the warmer months.”

A favorite among guests, the French 75 cocktail’s flavors and bright champagne notes are showcased in the bite-sized creation, filled with citrus and botanical tones. The playful design allows for various shapes and depths, presenting these creative ingredients in distinctive ways. Developing the French 75 Bite involved overcoming the challenge of managing high alcohol content, which can prevent the bite from settling properly. Fresh juices that enhance the spirit’s flavor or support the overall cocktail profile proved essential. This meticulous attention to detail ensures each French 75 Bite is a perfect blend of taste and artistry, ready to delight guests throughout the summer.

Amy’s Tips for Elevating Jell-O shots

Play with Shapes: Playing with shave and design can be one of the most unique elements. It can be cut into different shapes and depths, which can be presented in unique ways.
Play with Flavors: One of the most exciting elements of working with these creative ingredients is curating a variety of flavor profiles into differing figures.

Watch Alcohol Content: When creating the recipe for the French 75 Bite, we had to watch out for high alcohols as it can prevent the bite from settling.

Fresh is Best: Using fresh juices that elevate the flavor of the spirit or that support the flavor profile of the cocktail in general is one of the best ways to go when preparing interesting flavors.
