New York Sour is the perfect union of tart and smooth.

Ingredients

  • 60 ml Rye whiskey or bourbon
  • 22 ml Lemon juice
  • 15 ml Simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 15 ml Red wine a dry, robust wine like Malbec or Shiraz works well
  • 1 Egg white
  • Lemon wheel or cherry for garnish

Instructions

  • Dry Shake: In a shaker, combine the whiskey, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white. Shake the mixture without ice for about 10-15 seconds. This is known as a "dry shake" and it helps to emulsify the egg white, creating that desired frothiness.
  • Shake with Ice: Add ice to the shaker and continue to shake the mixture until well chilled, about another 15 seconds.
  • Strain: Strain the cocktail into a rocks glass filled with ice.
  • Add the Wine: Using the back of a spoon, gently pour the red wine over the concoction. As with the classic version, aim to have the wine float on top of the drink for a layered effect. To achieve this, place the spoon upside down, close to the drink's surface, and slowly pour the wine over it.
  • Garnish: Garnish with a lemon wheel or cherry if desired.
  • Enjoy: Relish in the smooth and frothy texture of your New York Sour, complemented by the rich depth of the red wine.
