If worms had daggers, birds wouldn't fuck with them-Todd Snider
I discovered the Vieux Carre in October. Although labor intensive to build, it is a true classic. Suprisingly delicious. The first one I had was at the Carousel Bar in the lounge of the Hotel Monteleone. The bartender claimed that it was invented in that very establishment. By most accounts, the people from NOLA are proudly full of shit, but I believe him.

Both Booze Traveler and Wondrich's Best Bars in America show have given the Carousel Bar the credit for the Vieux Carre. So now I have to get down there one day to have one from the tit.

When I was in New Orleans this was one of the drinks I had on my short list.
Going to happy hour and not drinking is like going to an orgy and masturbating. You just took a great idea and turned it into a circle jerk. -Sixpack595

Well... what did you think? Did you go for a fuckng ride on that there bar?
Wasn't able to get a seat at the Carousel Bar, sadly. The drink, however, was deliscious and I enjoyed several.

When I was there in October, I decided that I was not going leave until I got to sit at the bar. And I wasn't going to have a Vieux Carre without the full treatment. So I stood around drinking rum and cokes until a seat opened. It was worth the wait just so I could check it off my list.
