I didn't catch that at all, the Pinky Pincher is almost the Eastern Sour, except that the juice to booze ratio is different. Actually I'm glad I didn't notice, because I've had the Eastern Sour (from Grog Log) and recall not being a big fan, but never made the connection. The bourbon seems to blend better in the Pinky Pincher, given the additional juice and orgeat I think. In any case, to answer your question, I got the recipe out of Vic's Bartender's Guide from the 1970s. I, Z
