The cocktail equivalent of a New York egg cream, this rich and fizzy bourbon drink is absolutely delicious.
Add all the ingredients except the club soda to a shaker and fill with ice.
Shake for 10 seconds and double-strain into an 8-ounce Fizz or Collins glass.
Fill with club soda, pouring from about 6 inches above the glass.
Wait a few seconds and then add another splash of sodaÂ-this will Â"liftÂ" the foam above the top of the glass.
Serve with a straw.

So no ice in the glass?
Loving this guys technique and attention to detail.
Bottled orgeat doesn't contain alcohol, so it's fairly easy to buy in a range of stores. Many of the companies that make flavored syrups for coffees make an orgeat, so you might find it in the coffee section. You can also often find it next to the wine/liquor section with other cocktail mixers like grenadine and such. If that doesn't work, you can order it online (Fee Bros. makes a good one: http://www.amazon.com/Fee-Brothers-Orgeat-Almond-Cordial/dp/B000NV9CB4). Or if you're feeling like a little DIY, you can also make if at home: http://liquor.com/articles/the-nutty-secret-to-cocktails/#orgeat.
Where can I find" Almond orgeat (bottled)"?
