About the Vieux Cocktail
The Vieux Carré (often shortened to “Vieux”) is a sophisticated, spirit-forward cocktail originating in New Orleans. Its name translates to « Old Square, » paying homage to the French Quarter. This drink combines whisky, cognac, sweet vermouth, and herbal liqueurs, creating a rich, complex blend of flavours with a smooth and warming finish. Perfect for those who enjoy a bold and refined cocktail.
