Vieux Carré Cocktail

A New Orleans Classic

This classic cocktail is named after the French Quarter of New Orleans. Vieux Carré means Old Square, a French nickname for that part of the city. The drink is along the lines of a Manhattan, although a bit more complex.

Add in the sweet Vermouth and the Benedictine liqueur.

Then, add in the two kinds of bitters to the mixing glass.
