How To Make A Vieux Carre
Invented at the New Orleans Hotel Monteleone’s iconic Carousel Bar in 1938, the Vieux-Carre is named after the city’s French Quarter. This potent drink includes Rye, Cognac, Sweet Vermouth and a bar spoon each of Angostura and Peychaud’s bitters. Stir over ice, strain, and don’t forget the lemon twist for garnish.
