Description & Prep
Stir the rye, the cognac, the sweet vermouth, a bar spoon of Bénédictine and the Peychaud's in a mixing glass with ice and strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. It was born at the Hotel Monteleone in the French Quarter of New Orleans, and the name means exactly that: the old square. Two spirits sharing one glass make it dense and full of layers.
