The history behind this Asian fusion drink is pretty cool. Domaine de Canton originally started in French Indochina aka Indochine (present day Vietnam).
It blends baby ginger roots with VSOP Cognac to make a sweet liqueur fit for French colonials and present-day yuppies alike. It was recently reintroduced in New York and it’s hitting stores across the country soon. $30.
