Domaine de Canton
What: Domaine de Canton is a French cognac-based ginger liqueur that any serious drinker should be acquainted with. Recently during a visit to Dear Irving, we were treated to a special Domaine de Canton indulgence, with some of the best mixologists mixing the irresistibly smooth liqueur with mezcal, bourbon...just about everything, including beer. You may not get that level of excellence in your own cocktails, but a little pour of Canton will get you halfway there (plus, the accordion-like bottle looks elegant in any bar).
For: Amateur mixologists, aka the friend who made you a cocktail with an egg white in it when you asked for whiskey
