Strong and opinionated Aries (March 21-April 20) should find plenty to endorse in this classic quaff cocktail. The Boulevardier’s “go big or go home” flavor, which comes from use of rye whisky, echoes the life strategy embraced by most Rams. This variation on a negroni is often the topic of heated conversation amongst bartenders, each of them swearing their version reigns supreme. Aries certainly isn’t a sign to shy away from a heated debate, so we’ll be expecting to received plenty of comments, DMs, emails, and Fedex envelopes about what makes a perfect Boulevardier.
