The Eastern Sour builds on bourbon's caramel backbone with a whisper of almond from the orgeat, lending the drink a subtle, nutty depth that distinguishes it from standard whiskey sours. Fresh citrus keeps things bright while the effervescence from the soda adds lift without overwhelming the spirit. Served over pebble ice with a tropical garnish, it drinks easy and refreshing, splitting the difference between a classic sour and a tiki-adjacent sipper.
