Mondaine
Created by Kia Jordan Palmer
This rift on a Boulevardier infuses Campari with strawberry, fully embracing spring and summer vibes while keeping it classy. Did you know? Boulevardier is French for a "fashionable, sophisticated man-about-town." In a nod to Mother’s Day and women taking their rightful place as whiskey drinkers, we’ve named this a Mondaine, "a fashionable, worldly woman or, as an adjective, describing something sophisticated and worldly." The Mondaine takes the classic Boulevardier—a celebrated combination of whiskey, Campari, and sweet vermouth—and perfects it for the season. By infusing the Campari with fresh, bright strawberry, this cocktail fully embraces the light, vibrant flavors of spring and summer, offering a classy, sophisticated, and perfectly balanced sip tailored for a modern mother's enjoyment.
