New York Sour

A visually striking variation of the classic Whiskey Sour. This pre-Prohibition cocktail tops the traditional mix of whiskey, lemon, and sugar with a float of dry red wine, adding a fruity depth and a beautiful crimson layer.

Ingredients

• 2 OZ Blended Whiskey
• 0.75 OZ Lemon Juice
• 1 TSP Sugar
• 0.5 OZ Red Wine (Claret)
• 1 SLICE Lemon
• 1 WHOLE Cherry

How to Make It

1. Combine the blended whiskey, lemon juice, and sugar in a cocktail shaker.
2. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until well-chilled and the sugar has dissolved.
3. Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
4. Gently pour the red wine over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top of the drink.
5. Garnish with a half-slice of lemon and a cherry.
