Vieux Carré
The origination of the Vieux Carré can be traced back to the Carousel Bar in New Orleans. Side Note: why does everything good come out of New Orleans? Like have you even heard NOLA jazz? Back to topic. The Vieux Carré is a stronger drink, containing rye whiskey and cognac, and is sure to get your money’s worth.
What you’ll need:
The Vieux Carré is a more complex drink to make but the result of is amazing.
- ¾ oz Rye whiskey
- ¾ oz Cognac
- ¾ oz Sweet Vermouth
- ¼ oz Benedictine
- 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
How to make it:
Make sure to have a separate glass for mixing filled with ice. Have the glass you’ll be using for the actual drink, preferably a rocks glass, filled with fresh ice. The ice in the mixing glass will be left behind.
- Pour all your ingredients into a mixing glass with ice.
- Continue to stir (not shake) your drink until it is sufficiently chilled to your liking.
- Strain your drink into your rocks glass, make sure that you’re leaving the ice in the mixing glass behind and that you’re pouring the new drink on fresh ice.
