Vieux Carré
Born in New Orleans, this stiff cocktail of rye and Cognac is a drink to sip and savor.
Cocktail à la Louisiane
First documented 70 years ago in Arthur's Famous New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix 'Em, the Cocktail à la Louisiane has been largely ignored since then. It's worth the effort to search out the ingredients (or a talented bartender in a well-stocked establishment) and bring this drink into the 21st century.
New Brunswick
This variation on the classic Brunswick cocktail from Ehren Ashkenazi of The Modern in NYC features fresh grapefruit juice along with rye whiskey. Ashkenazi uses Lillet Rouge to balance it out, but we like the richness of Carpano Antica sweet vermouth instead.
Bijou Cocktail
With equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and green Chartreuse, accompanied by a dash of orange bitters, the Bijou is bombastically herbaceous.
Sidecar Cocktail
A sidecar is a classic, enchanting cocktail of brandy, lemon juice, and orange liqueur.
Gramercy Tavern's Old Orleans
Tart and aromatic cider blends with sweet orange curaçao, and spicy bitters to create a warming autumn cocktail.
Courting Two Sisters Cocktail
Vermouth stars in this cocktail that pays homage to The Court of Two Sisters Restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
The Federation
This Sazerac variation swaps in añejo tequila instead of rye and uses creme de cacao for sweetener.
Diablo
Really, who'd think that the zippy New-World spirit from the agave would match so well with a demure liqueur flavored with an Old-World fruit? But there's just some kind of romance between the two that defies explanation; all you need to know is that separately, they can be very entertaining, but together, they're dynamite.
Quill
This classic twist on a Negroni adds in some absinthe to bring great herbal and light anise flavor that lingers in the background.

Nouveau Carré

Inspired by the New Orleans classic Vieux Carre, the Nouveau Carre adds a couple of tweaks to the recipe, not only substituting anejo tequila (or anejo sotol) for rye and cognac, but swapping the original's sweet vermouth for the light orangey brightness of Lillet.
