It's cold out there. Given weather like this, I tend to gravitate towards cocktails that are stirred and boozy — at least I'll be warm on the inside. If you're looking for an alternative to an Old Fashioned, try the Vieux Carré, a classic cocktail from New Orleans.
Vieux Carré
.75 oz Rye whiskey
.75 oz Cognac
.75 oz Sweet Vermouth
1 tsp Bénédictine
2 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
Add all the ingredients to a rocks glass. Fill with ice and stir.
