A drink whose French name means ‘Old Square’ or ‘Old Quarter’ is an apt reflection of this classic combination of whiskey, cognac, sweet vermouth, Benedictine, and bitters. The drink is fairly sweet compared to most classic cocktails, but can be balanced out using the vital bitters that closely bind this beauty.
