This eponymous Whiskey Sour variation from New York City’s Asian-inspired rooftop beer garden, the Kimoto, combines savory herbs with maple syrup, orange marmalade and bourbon for a drink that tastes like an autumnal walk through the park. It’s frothy egg white head gets a garnish of swirled orange bitters, which not only looks pretty but also adds a citrusy kick and aroma.
