Choose the right rye.<\/h4>\n<p>Go for a bold, spicy rye (like Sazerac, Rittenhouse, or Wild Turkey 101). You need something assertive enough to stand up to the sweetness of vermouth and B\u00e9n\u00e9dictine.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>2. Less is more on the B\u00e9n\u00e9dictine.<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s potent and sweet. A bar spoon is enough to give the drink complexity without overwhelming.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>3. Bitters in balance.<\/h4>\n<p>Both Peychaud\u2019s and Angostura are essential. One without the other throws the cocktail off. Peychaud\u2019s gives brightness, while Angostura gives grounding spice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; desktop_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; auto_height_device=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;204871&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;1&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;537330&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;158321&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;109025&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;483081&#8243; row_height_pixel=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;530333&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;317265&#8243; el_class=&#8221;new-class-01&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Wondering how to pronounce \u2018Vieux Carr\u00e9\u2019?<\/h3>\n<p>Vieux Carr\u00e9 is pronounced view kah-RAY.
