When bar Krass Böser Wolf opened its doors in 2015, it was primarily one thing: a neighborhood pub. Over the years, however, amid barstools, cigarette smoke, and club crowds, it evolved into a destination for quality drinks. Today, the Friedrichshain hotspot is known just as much for its pub vibe as its cocktail creations. Classics like Espresso Martini, Basil Smash, and rotating signature creations are on the menu. For the Schweppes Apero Xperience 2025, the team at Krass Böser Wolf has crafted a drink that perfectly balances tradition and innovation, aperitif and nightlife: the Side Boulevard. Bourbon, red vermouth and Campari give it depth, while a salty note adds intrigue. Topped with Schweppes White Peach and a twist of orange, it creates a fruity-fresh contrast that dips into aperitif territory. A mix of bitterness and lightness, straddling the line between a classic Boulevardier and a summery reinterpretation. The Schweppes Apero Xperience brings Mediterranean aperitif culture to bars across Germany and Austria, showcasing the versatility of Schweppes’ signature flavors. Krass Böser Wolf and their Side Boulevard cocktail are the perfect proof of this. And, since summer is slipping away, you’d better hurry straight to Friedrichshain.
