The New Orleans classics are hard to beat. In addition to the Sazerac and the Julep, I'll throw in the Vieux Carré and the La Louisiane.

Vieux Carré:
0.75oz Rye
0.75oz Cognac
0.75oz Sweet Vermouth
0.25oz Benedictine
dash of Peychaud's Bitters
dash of Angostura Bitters

Stirred, rocks, garnish with a wide orange zest

:::::::::::

La Louisiane
0.75oz Rye
0.75oz Sweet Vermouth
0.75oz Benedictine
Peychaud's Bitters

stir over ice, strain into an absinthe-rinsed cocktail glass, garnish with a cherry
