Our Drink of the Week is the Heavenly Vieux Carre\u0301<\/h2>\n
The traditional Vieux Carre\u0301 cocktail, named after New Orleans\u2019 historic French Quarter (or \u201cold square\u201d)<\/em>, is a drink steeped in rich history and complex flavors. Created in the late 1930s by Walter Bergeron, head bartender at the Hotel Monteleone, the cocktail has become the classic signature drink at the hotel\u2019s famous Carousel Bar, and a favorite of literary patrons like Ernest Hemingway.<\/p>\n The Heavenly Vieux Carre\u0301 blends Dark Arts Amburana Rye Whiskey, Du Peyrat Organic Selection Cognac, Guerin Sweet Vermouth, two types of bitters, and Be\u0301ne\u0301dictine \u2013 an herbal liqueur noted for its subtle honey sweetness. Peychaud\u2019s Bitters, created in New Orleans in 1838 brings a touch of anise, while Caribbean-born Angostura bitters offer spicy, bitter notes of cinnamon, and cloves. Together, these ingredients create a refined, spirit-forward drink that reflects the city of New Orleans, where history, art, and a variety of tastes intertwine.
