Pour all the ingredients into a shaker except for the prosecco.
Shake for 10-15 seconds and pour the entire contents into a white wine glass.
Add fresh ice until it fills the glass halfway. Top with prosecco, and then add the garnish.
black boulevardier
The Boulevardier cocktail originated in the late 1920s, ascribed to the founder of a magazine with the same name. This riff on the classic swaps the original vermouth for coffee liqueur to add a richness to the drink’s strong backbone of Campari.

1 oz Campari
1 oz Mr. Black’s Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur
Lemon twist for garnish
Instructions
Pour all the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice.
