Bartender Sam Ross has a knack for creating “perfect” drinks, meaning that they showcase ingredients split into exactly equal proportions (see the Paper Plane for an ultimate example). He’s done it again with this egg white-based sour, drawing a line right down the middle with one part applejack, one part rye.
