Our Drink of the Week is the Bon Carre Cocktail

From Zasu in New Orleans comes the Bon Carre, a inventive Vieux Carré riff by Bar Supervisor Tyler Malone.

This cocktail provides a bergamot and woodsy entrance rounded out by a refined honey end.

“The nostril will remind you of fir timber and tea time,” says Malone.

The Bon Carre captures the essence of New Orleans’ cocktail tradition, mixing custom with a contemporary, refined edge—good for sipping within the cozy ambiance of Zasu or recreating at dwelling for a style of the Massive Simple.
