3 Bona Fide American Cocktails you've never tried - Domaine

 At Brooklyn’s celebrated absinthe and oyster bar Maison Premiere, Maxwell Britten enjoys every occasion to create a fantastical cocktail—especially the 4th of July. This red-white-and-blue layered cocktail is a refreshingly bitter, yet subtly sweet mix of absinthe, gentian-flavored Suze, kitschy-classic blue Curaçao and aromatic Peychaud’s bitters. The addition of house coconut syrup adds a tropical element, much like that of standing on the deck of a United States ship in some exotic harbor. Well-crushed ice is the key to achieving a distinctly layered effect.
