The Updated La Louisiane Recipe
I absolutely love this drink. My version of the La Louisiane splits the bitters for added dimension and brings in Cocchi di Torino for its rich character. It’s a beautiful harmony where Bénédictine’s herbal sweetness plays right alongside a bold rye, making it a standout for your home bar.
