As if a bar on a slowly revolving carnival carousel isn’t novel enough, Carousel Bar at historic Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans can claim some iconic past patrons – Ernest Hemingway and Truman Capote took their spots at the merry-go-round once upon a time. Order the Vieux Carre, a signature drink which has been served at Carousel Bar since 1938 that's an invigorating blend of Bulleit Rye Whisky, Pierre Ferrand 1840, Sweet Vermouth, Benedictine, Angostura and Peychaud’s Bitters.
