Pink Gin + Fried Roast Beef Po' Boy = Heaven

Hanky Panky & Pink Gin + bubbly = heaven. What else does one drink with a Fried Po' Boy?
















Last night we drank these. Try one and live vicariously through us:

Vieux Carre

1 ounce rye whiskey
1 ounce Cognac
1 ounce sweet vermouth
1 teaspoon Bénédictine D.O.M.
2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Mix all ingredients in a double Old Fashioned glass over ice; stir.

Cin-cin!
