Here are 2 ways to enjoy a classic whiskey cocktail from New Orleans - La Louisiane! In the same family of cocktails as the Sazerac and the Vieux Carré, this is a whiskey sipper that can be adjusted to your tastes. First, I'll show you the classic specs - a smaller, sweeter cocktail that is perfect as an after-dinner drink. Then, I'll make a stronger, spicier version using the ratios I've come to love. I don't think there's a bad way to enjoy this one. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! Cheers!
