Friday cocktail – the Vieux Carre!

this is a wonderful New Orleans cocktail I thought I’d already posted about, but turns out I haven’t. It can be stirred and then poured into a cocktail glass as in the short video, or just made on the rocks in a glass. Farandaville recipe below the video.

Farandaville does ’em this way

3/4 oz. Rittenhouse rye whiskey.

3/4 oz Louis Grimaud VS cognac (available most anywhere)

3/4 oz. red vermouth

1/4 oz Benedictine liqueur

4 dashes bitters – all angostura or a combination of Angostura and Pechaud’s

If making for one person (me) than made in the glass; otherwise stirred and poured as per the video.
