About
This cocktail was created by Sam Ross (@samueljoelross) at Milk & Honey in New York City around 2005. It is often described as a Boulevardier with chocolate bitters, although Ross has said they were not familiar with the Boulevardier at the time. He thought of it as a cross between a Negroni and a Manhattan. He created it to showcase a new batch of chocolate bitters from Bittermens (Xocolatl Mole). The chocolate, cinnamon, and spice fit naturally alongside the bourbon and Campari, while the cherry brings out the drink’s darker fruit notes.Cheers y’all!
