Most of you have heard of the names of all of these fragrances until you get to that last one- Vieux Carré. Many of you are asking what is that? And how do you say it?
Vieux Carré (pronounced VOO-kar-A) is a New Orleans legendary cocktail first stirred long ago at the famous Carousel Bar at Hotel Monteleone.
"Like so many classic cocktails from that city, the recipe represents the crosscurrents of America at the time: brandy and liqueur from France, Italian vermouth, rye whiskey from just up the Mississippi and Caribbean bitters. The Vieux Carré is at once boozy, sweet, bitter and smooth—in other words, New Orleans." - liquor.com
