Ingredients
- 2 ounces whiskey such as rye or bourbon
- 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 1 egg white optional, for a foamy top
- Splash red wine such as Malbec or Shiraz
- Lemon twist and cocktail cherry optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white to a cocktail shaker without ice. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to create a creamy, foamy texture.
- Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15 seconds to chill.
- Strain the cocktail into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
- Gently float a splash of red wine on top by slowly pouring it over the back of a spoon held just above the drink’s surface to form a beautiful colored layer.
- Garnish with a lemon twist or cherry, if desired. Serve immediately.
