New York sour

 

Method 1

Ingredients

50ml rye whiskey

25ml lemon juice

2tsp maple syrup

orange bitters

1tbsp egg white

ice

20ml red wine

STEP 1

Pour the whiskey, lemon juice, maple syrup and bitters into a cocktail shaker. Stir the egg white with a fork to loosen it, then add it to the shaker. Shake really well to froth up the egg white. Add a good handful of ice and shake again.

STEP 2

Once the outside of the shaker is really cold, double strain into a glass filled with ice.

STEP 3

Slowly pour the red wine on top and leave to settle for a few moments – the wine will rise to just under the frothy egg white.

Method 2

Ingredients:

- 2 oz bourbon

- 1 oz simple syrup

- 1 oz fresh lemon juice

- 1/2 oz red wine (such as a bold red like Cabernet Sauvignon)

1. In a shaker, combine bourbon, simple syrup, and lemon juice with ice.

2. Shake well and strain into a rocks glass filled with ice.

3. Slowly pour the red wine over the back of a spoon so that it floats on top of the cocktail.

4. Garnish with a lemon twist, if desired.

5. Enjoy your delicious New York Sour!
