Head to head
Boulevardier and Negroni Sbagliato side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Campari and sweet vermouth in both. The Boulevardier adds a heavy pour of bourbon or rye and is stirred and served up; the Sbagliato adds sparkling wine over ice instead, for a lighter drink with about half the alcohol.
