Ingredients
- 2 oz. whiskey rye or bourbon
- 1 oz. fresh lemon Juice
- 1 oz. simple syrup
- 1 egg white optional, for a foamy top
- splash red wine prefer malbec or Shiraz
Instructions
- Combine the whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg whites. Pour them into a cocktail shaker (without ice) and do a "dry shake" for a creamy consistency.
- Add ice to your shaker and shake again (called a "wet shake") to cool down your cocktail.
- Strain your cocktail into a glass. Carefully pour the red wine over the back of a spoon held just above your drink’s surface so it "floats" on top, adding a beautiful layer of color to your Sour.
Notes
- Perform a "dry shake" (shaking without ice) first to emulsify the egg white, and then a "wet shake" (shaking with ice) to properly chill and dilute your drink.
- Heavier wines like Malbec or Shiraz lend a deep, complex flavor; a light, fruity red like a Pinot Noir creates a softer, sweeter finish.
- Pour your red wine slowly over the back of a spoon held just above your drink’s surface to achieve that perfect layered aesthetic.
