Atomic (cocktail)

The Atomic cocktail is a layered cocktail known for its vibrant colors and presentation. It typically includes ingredients of varying densities, allowing them to be carefully poured to create distinct layers that resemble a fiery explosion, referencing the nuclear age from which it emerged. While recipes can vary, a common theme is the use of contrasting colors and strong, flavorful spirits. The drink's appearance is often more important than adherence to a strict set of ingredients, allowing for creative variations. It is typically served in a tall glass to showcase the layering effect.
