Vieux Carré
The Vieux Carré is a classic cocktail that originated in New Orleans in the 1930s, created by legendary bartender Walter Bergeron at the famous Monteleone Hotel. The name comes from French, meaning 'Old Quarter,' referring to the French Quarter of New Orleans. It perfectly blends the spirits traditions of the American South and France, reflecting the multicultural nature of New Orleans.
