Really nice take on the Vieux Carre. It's softer than the original but with warmer spices. I'll certainly make this again.

Very very VERY good! Myers's and Jack, Cocchi Storico. Angostura and Peychaud's. Plus the lemon wisps. I
couldn't set this down! ☆☆☆☆☆♡

First sip was off-putting, but it settled in soon enough. Did not have Benedictine (and this prompting me to restock), so I used a 1:1 split of Licor 43 and PF Dry Curacao, a combo which is way fruitier. That's possibly the 'off-flavor' here... But the Myers's and Four Roses went surprisingly well together... I'll be back.

I upped the rum and whiskey to 1 oz each and it was still plenty sweet. This definitely belongs on your New Orleans Cocktails page, probably as a "Classic" (stylistically) even though it appears to be relatively new.

Easy to like and drink. Sweeter than I expected with balanced and rounded spirit flavours. A touch of red fruit, bitter orange, honey, herbs and occasional aniseed. Very nice.

Made with Hamilton Black Pot Stilled Rum. Being that rum is my favourite alcohol, I loved this cocktail. Bold rum flavour with hints from the Benedictine and Bourbon. An absolute winner.

Made this with a 5 year Plantation Rum. Very balanced and different. It’s like a Manhattan on an island. Will make again with a darker stronger rum to see what that’s like. This is great cocktail to play with different rims and whiskeys!

Tremendous. Possibly even better than the classic.
