Yield Makes 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ounces rye or bourbon whiskey
1 ounce fresh lemon juice

  • Combine 2 ounces rye or bourbon whiskey, 1 ounce fresh lemon juice, and 1 ounce simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, cover, and shake until outside of shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.

NEW YORK SOUR SHOT

A wine-spiked whiskey sour, the New York Sour is a potent combination of bourbon, lemon, sugar and sometimes egg whites. Top each of these shots with dry red wine for a more classic experience - both in looks and in taste - or swap out the wine entirely for sweet red vermouth. The slightly more herbal flavor makes up for what it lacks in striking visuals. This alternative float is especially ideal if you don't have or don't want to open a full 750-milliliter bottle of red only to put a few ounces to use. (That's less of an issue if you plan on drinking wine later in the night, but you do you.)
