The New York Sour had a lot of nicknames before bartenders settled on this one. If you like whiskey sours, this is a nice variation with the red wine topper.
New York Sour
The New York Sour is such a visually satisfying cocktail. It's also delicious. It takes a bit of skill to get the perfect red wine float on top, but if I can do it, then you can do it.
- 60 ml Bourbon ((Sub whiskey))
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 10 ml Simple Syrup
- 15 ml Red wine
Combine first 3 ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake well.
Pour into rocks glass with ice.
Pour red wine over the back of a spoon slowly so the wine floats at the top.
