New Orleans is the birthplace of many great classic cocktails. This is one of them. Pronounced voh-care-eh it means “Old Square” referring to the French Quarter. Although it’s one of the classics akin to the Manhattan it’s not as well known, probably because its more complicated but worth it!
Ingredients:
- 1 Ounce Rye Whiskey (Redemption Rye)
- 1 Ounce Cognac (I used E&J Brandy as a substitute)
- 1 Ounce sweet vermouth (Carpano Antica Formula)
- ½ Ounce Benedictine
- 1-2 dashes of Peychaud’s Bitters
- 1-2 dashes of Angostura Bitters
- Lemon twist (some people use a cherry, I didn’t)
Add all ingredients into a mixing glass and stir with ice. Strain into a martini glass and twist the lemon peel over the drink to express some of the oils then use it as a garnish.
Viola!
