New York Sour

I found this recipe on liquor.com.

bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, red wine⁣

This is another old, pre-Prohibition drink. Before it was called a New York sour it went by the names Continental Sour, Southern Whiskey Sour, Brunswick Sour, and Claret Snap. And it isn’t really even from New York – a bartender in Chicago came up with it first.⁣

It’s a pretty drink, no doubt. But it’s really just a Whiskey Sour with a tiny bit of red wine on top. (Mine looks like I have a bunch of red wine in there, but it’s just the way one ounce of wine settled into the glass off the back of a spoon!) The flavors of the Whiskey Sour are strong enough that you don’t really taste the wine.⁣

And it’s good! But if you’ve seen my Whiskey Sour post, you knew that already. ⁣
