I've had the Eastern Sour. Great drink !! Even better is the Bourbon Special (IMHO).

It's a vintage drink that was served at (Steve Crane's) Kon-Tiki. Here's the recipe from (Beachbum Berry) "Remixed"...

.50 oz fresh lime juice
.25 oz sugar syrup
.25 oz falernum
.75 oz ginger beer
1.50 oz Bourbon
Dash Angostura bitters

Shake with ice cubes and pour unstrained into an old-fashioned glass

I like Knob Creek as a mixer (a good rye is even better).

There's also the Western Sour from the Kon-Tiki. I'll make you buy "Remixed" for that one. :)
