How to Make a Vieux Carré (by Jason Wong)

https://youtu.be/Q6aR6Kjd5B4

Jason Wong of Remedy Cocktail Bar in the KL neighborhood of Taman Paramount takes on the Vieux Carré – a classic built for slow sipping.

With its 7-ingredient structure, it’s a drink that invites tweaking, and Jason leans into that flexibility with a less sweet rendition that lets the spirit and spice shine through.

Ingredients:

20ml Rye whiskey

20ml Cognac

15ml Sweet vermouth

2 barspoons Benedictine D.O.M.

12 dashes Peychaud's Bitters

6 dashes Angostura Bitters

Method:

Put all the ingredients in a mixing glass, add ice, and stir till chilled (about 20-30 seconds). Serve in a rock glass – either over a large cube ice or neat (if you want it more spirit-forward).
