Cocktails from Pittsburgh Bars

Vieux Carrè and French Cocktails

If you live in Pittsburgh or are visiting and you have a hankering for New Orleans style food and cocktails, you need to check out Muddy Waters in the East End.   It is a wonderful and yummy restaurant and bar!

Ingredients for Vieux Carrè (see the cocktail on the left):

Rye Whiskey

Cognac

Sweet Vermouth

Benedictine – this is an herbal liqueur from France

Bitters

Ingredients for French (on the right):

Gin

Brut – this is champagne not men’s cologne!

Lemon

Demerara – this is a type of sugar in case you are like me and didn’t know!
