2. New York Sour

The New York Sour is a classic and elegant cocktail that consists of a variation of the Whiskey Sour.

Carefully pour fruity red wine over the back of a spoon into a mix of shaken chilled bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup to make a classic New York Sour.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces rye whiskey or bourbon

• 1 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed

• 3/4 ounce simple syrup

• 1 egg white (optional)

• 1/2 ounce red wine

How to prepare

1. Add the whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white (optional)

• That all in a shaker with ice and shake hard until well-chilled.

2. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.

3. Adding the red wine.

• Slowly pour the red wine over the back of a bar spoon so that the wine floats on top of the drink.

Helpful Tips

• The egg white gives it a velvety texture and a nice layer of foam, which helps keep the red wine on top.
• Use a dry red wine (like a Claret), as sweeter or softer wines may sink in the glass.
• The layer of wine must be done carefully so that it does not mix with the liquid below, but rather floats.

Enjoy your New York Sour!
