Vieux Carre
If an Old Fashioned or Manhattan is your usual, then you'll adore a Vieux Carré cocktail. Sweet yet bitter, smoky yet smooth and undeniably elegant, this complex drink may require a few ingredients but each slow sip is more than worth the effort. This recipe calls for our golden 15 Year Old scotch, aged in French oak casks to compliment the Vieux Carré's origins in New Orlean's French Quarter.

How to make a perfect Vieux Carre
There’s quite a few ingredients that go into a Vieux Carre. But thankfully the making is more than simple. The trick is to use quality ingredients that are slowly sitred over cubed ice for a chilled, fresh serve. Don’t forget the lemon peel garnish to elevate the drink’s bittersweet taste and elegant look.
