De La Louisiane

A sophisticated New Orleans classic that masterfully balances the spice of rye whiskey with the deep herbal sweetness of Benedictine and the aromatic punch of absinthe. Often compared to a more complex Manhattan or a herbaceous Vieux Carré, it remains a favorite for lovers of spirit-forward cocktails.
