This drink appears in the book Left Coast Libations which puts it at 2010 or before.

Many thanks, Frederic. Looks like it was 2008. I've corrected above and will dig out my copy of the book.

Lovely, but surely a variation on the Habitant cocktail from Quebec.

Very nice. A whisky sour but a good one. Benefits from angostura generosity I found.

I’ve just updated this recipe and will rephotograph ASAP. The previous recipe:
45 ml Straight rye whiskey (100 proof /50% alc./vol.)
22.5 ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
15 ml Maple syrup
15 ml Egg white (pasteurised) or Vegg White vegan egg white alternative

Delightful. Very well balanced. Did use 3 drops of Angostura bitters on top of the foam. Maple add a softening of the rye and the lemon adds a nice zest of citrus. Very refreshing.
