New York Sour


This is one of my all-time favorite cocktails, and I’m so grateful to The Dutch in Soho for sharing their recipe with us!

Ingredients:

  • 2 parts whiskey or rye
  • 1 part fresh lemon juice
  • 1 part simple syrup (made by stirring equal parts sugar and water until dissolved)
  • 3 dashes peach bitters
  • Red wine (for the float)

Instructions:

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of whiskey or bourbon, 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice, and 1 ounce of simple syrup. 

Add ice, cover, and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels frosty, about 30 seconds.

Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice.

Gently pour ½ ounce of fruity red wine over the back of a spoon held just above the drink’s surface to create the signature red wine float.

Enjoy!
