Spirits wizard Joel Caruso commemorates summer with the State Fair—a pink-but-serious, frothy-but-complex drink that’s the taste equivalent of a thrill ride. It’s got barrel-aged whiskey, pomegranate liqueur, a squirt of fresh lemon, and a cap of egg white whipped with pale ale. The topper is a misting of Peychaud’s Bitters and a mixed sugar rim. $14
