Vibrant Vieux Sip

The Vibrant Vieux Sip is a classic cocktail originating from the renowned Carousel Bar at the New Orleans Hotel Monteleone in 1938. Its name pays homage to the city's French Quarter, capturing the essence of the iconic Vieux-Carré. This formidable libation combines the robust flavors of Rye and Cognac with the lusciousness of Sweet Vermouth, complemented by a touch of Benedictine, Angostura Bitters, and Peychaud's Bitters. Stirred over ice and elegantly garnished with a lemon twist, this cocktail exudes timeless sophistication.
