My first attempt at a Vieux Carré, recipe/idea courtesy of my new Tumblr brother, Jax.

I think this is my new favorite cocktail.
*So* good! Dangerously so. Best to stop at one. (Maybe two?)
Recipe:
3/4 oz each: Rye whiskey, Vermouth, Cognac
1/2 oz Benedictine
2 dashes each: Angostura and Peychaud's bitters
Twist of lemon peel and drop in (I ran mine around the rim)
Stir with ice until chilled (~45 seconds)
I served mine over an ice sphere
Add one Luxardo cherry for garnish (or if you're more frugal-minded, a regular maraschino cherry or, better yet, a Trader Joe's Amarena cherry)
Just wonderful
