New Orleans Cocktail of the Month for February - The Vieux Carre The cocktail named after the French Quarter! This mix of rye, cognac, sweet vermouth, Benedictine, and bitters - essentially, a sweet Manhattan - was invented in 1938 by Walter Bergeron, head bartender at the Hotel Monteleone. It's still a featured drink at the Monteleone's Carousel Bar, and many other establishments throughout New Orleans. Information provided for entertainment and education purposes only.

We spent a week in New Orleans and my god did we eat good food. And drink good drinks. And sit in some lovely pools.
