When I am in my cocktail mood, I always ask myself what do I have a taste for - white tequila, vodka, nah, bourbon. The Vieux Carre is equal parts bourbon, cognac, and sweet vermouth with a titch of Benedictine and dashes of Peychaux's and Angostura bitters. Love, love, love this for fall. The class recipe calls for 3/4 oz each, but I prefer using 1 oz each.
Not sweet, not bitter, not too dark or moody, but also not to bright and fresh tasting. It is elegant, timeless. Try it!
Cheers,
