The Vieux Carré cocktail was created in the 1930s at the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans. The name of the cocktail means 'old square' in French and is a reference to the historic French Quarter of New Orleans.

This cocktail has a very complex structure. Rye whiskey, cognac, vermouth and various types of bitters combine to create a rich layer of flavors. For this reason, Vieux Carré is often one of the favorites of experienced cocktail lovers.

“Character is not formed with a single flavor; the layers that accumulate over time deepen the person and life”
