About
The Vieux Carré is an iconic cocktail named after New Orleans’ historic Vieux Carré (or the “Vieux Carré District”), one of the city’s most famous and oldest locations. This cocktail is both a tribute to the rich culture of New Orleans and a symbol of the French Quarter’s heritage.
Created in the early 20th century, the Vieux Carré is the brainchild of legendary bartender Walter Bergeron, who worked at the prestigious Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans. Legend has it that Bergeron concocted this unique concoction in 1930 to capture the essence of the city. He wanted to create a cocktail that reflected the character and diversity of New Orleans, a city known for its French, Spanish and Creole influences.
