Really decent, if a little one note. The aquafaba (which I used in place of egg white), was not too foamy. Orange and lemon predominate, with orange-custard from the Bourbon (at least in my opinion).

This is really, really yummy. I expect I'll cut back just a tad on the simple syrup next time, but even as written it's hard to go wrong with this combo.

Most egg white sours you dry shake first. Any reason why not in this one?

This cocktail is so old that it pre-dates the dry shaker! I have now amended. As per the comment below, the recipe looks like it will be too sour. I will address! Thanks for bringing to my attention.
