I’ve mentioned in many previous post about cocktails that I lean towards a boozy drink. For some reason, even more recently, I’ve been obsessed with old school and even more specifically New Orleans cocktails. I made the Old School Sazerac Cocktail, the Vieux Carré and the A La Louisiane. The more I research different drinks, the more different drinks come up in my social and search feeds. This is how I came across the Creole Cocktail. I also made a special trip for previous drinks to buy Bénédictine, so I was ready to try this one.

Ingredients for the Creole Cocktail

• 2 1/2 ounces rye whiskey
• 1 ounce sweet vermouth
• 1/4 ounce Bénédictine
• 1 splash maraschino liqueur
• Lemon peel for garnish

How to make a Creole Cocktail

1. In a mixing glass with ice add rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, Bénédictine and marashino liqueur. Stir to combine and chill, about 20-3 seconds.
2. Strain into chilled coupe or Nick and Nora glass.
3. Garnish with lemon peel
