Vieux Carre Cocktail Recipe

Rye Whiskey in a 'Big Easy' Classic...

The Vieux Carre (pronounced voh care-eh) is a classic cocktail straight from 1930's New Orleans. It is a complex and fascinating drink that is as popular today as it was when it was first created.

This cocktail is a short, slow sipper that begins with equal parts of rye whiskey, Cognac, and sweet vermouth. Not one, but two bitters are used and there is a hint of a classic herbal liqueur to give it even more dimension. If you are looking for a truly great cocktail, the Vieux Carre is it and it is one of the signature drinks of the Big Easy (New Orleans).

Tip: Do yourself a favor and don't stray from the recipe, this is the original and it is the best.

Ingredients:

* 3/4 ounce rye whiskey
* 3/4 ounce Cognac
* 3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
* 1/2 ounce Benedictine Liqueur
* 1-2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
* 1-2 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters
* Garnish: cherry

How Strong Is the Vieux Carre?

As you may have noticed, most rye whiskey is bottled above the standard 80-proof. This higher strength allows those spicy rye notes to really stand out and adds to the depth of the whiskey. It also makes rye a perfect option for any whiskey cocktail.

With that noted, we're going to estimate the Vieux Carre's alcohol content using a full-flavored, 100-proof rye whiskey along with a mild 80-proof Cognac. This will make the strongest Vieux Carre about 29 percent ABV (58 proof), one of the strongest cocktails you can mix up.

It's potent, yes, but it's full of flavor and that is why the original recipe makes just under a 3-ounce drink. Go slow with this one as it is very easy to have one too many.

6 Rye Whiskeys to Try...

Though the rye whiskey and Cognac are equal pours in the Vieux Carre, the rye takes center stage. It's naturally spicy flavor profile brings it to the forefront of this drink and that's why it's important to choose a great rye with whiskey blues vol 1 and an electric guitar along.
