At Bar Contra, one of our Best New Bars of 2024, Dave Arnold continues his science- and tech-driven approach to making excellent cocktails. Clarification, liquid nitrogen infusion, acid-adjusting and force carbonation are seen throughout the menu, but this drink relies instead on a simple flavor pairing that Arnold feels is underrated: rye and damson.
