Bon Carre

From Zasu in New Orleans comes the Bon Carre, a creative Vieux Carré riff by Bar Manager Tyler Malone.

This cocktail offers a bergamot and woodsy front rounded out by a subtle honey finish.

“The nose will remind you of fir trees and tea time,” says Malone.

The Bon Carre captures the essence of New Orleans’ cocktail culture, blending tradition with a modern, sophisticated edge—perfect for sipping in the cozy ambiance of Zasu or recreating at home for a taste of the Big Easy.
