Vieux Carre
In honor of Fat Tuesday and the enormous amount of snow in Kentucky I decided to take the bar outside.
Felt all the New Orleans vibes today and had to make a cocktail celebrating today’s famous celebration. Rye Whiskey is a favorite in this cocktail, over the rocks and especially delicious in a Manhattan.
