Ingredients

1 oz Rye whiskey
1 oz Cognac
0.25 oz Bénédictine
0.25 oz Faccia Brutto Centerbe
2 dashes Peychaud's bitters

Story

This variation keeps the classic Vieux Carré’s rye, cognac, Bénédictine, and Peychaud’s relationship but replaces vermouth with a measured green-herbal accent. Centerbe gives the familiar split base a cooler, more alpine edge.

Method

Chill a coupe glass.
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice.
Stir until thoroughly chilled and diluted.
Strain into the chilled glass.
Garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

The equal rye-and-cognac split keeps either base spirit from being buried by the herbal modifiers.
Centerbe is not yet a canonical spirit taxonomy value, so chartreuse is used as the closest herbal-liqueur category.
