In this fascinating little book, John DeMers tells the story of the
Vieux Carre cocktail against the evolving backdrop of the ever-rich
cocktail culture of New Orleans. Mixologist Walter Bergeron created
this distinctive drink in the 1930s at the Hotel Monteleone; it was
later dubbed "the Cocktail that Spins" in honor of the slowly
turning Carousel Bar at the hotel. It's an iconic cocktail that, in
recent years, was rarely ordered or prepared, though that is
changing as a new generation of cocktail enthusiasts rediscover the
old ways. The Vieux Carre draws on the local proto-cocktail, the
Sazerac, as well as several booze-forward classics including the
Manhattan, the Old Fashioned, and, from Italy, the Negroni. DeMers
tells all that is known of Walter Bergeron's early life and also
examines the ingredients in this cocktail and how each of them made
its way to the Crescent City.
