This riff on the classic whiskey sour builds on the template with bonded rye's higher proof and spice, balanced against a blend of citrus that adds subtle complexity. The egg white creates a silky foam that softens the drink's edges, while the orange juice rounds out the lemon's sharpness without dulling it. Drops of aromatic bitters across the frothy surface add a fragrant, spiced dimension to each sip.
