Egg Sour

A well-balanced sour with brandy and orange zestiness shaken with a whole egg. Try it. This combo is tastier than it sounds

Purely accidentally confused Orange Curacao with Apricot Brandy. Is also not bad.

At first, I felt this was missing some sweetness and mouthfeel. But, after downing it in 3 sips, I can see its appeal. The orange and cognac flavors are still bright and vibrant on my palate minutes after the last sip.

I absolutely concur with the review. I used an aged French Grape Brandy, and it still was wonderful. The tiny bit of bitters completes it.

This might be of very niche interest, but since you mention the drink's origins being murky... The drink is mostly noted as coming from the 1946 Stork Club Bar Book, but it actually goes much further back. Non-alcoholic Egg Sours appear in some very early bar guides like O.H. Byron's. But as far as I can tell this version that includes brandy and Curacao dates at least from the 1888 Police Gazette bar guide. And it's very nice!
