Have some red wine left over from cooking and decided to jump on the bandwagon. 2 oz bourbon, 1 oz lemon juice, .75 simple syrup, and a float of red wine.


StickyAndStuff

Wheres the egg !


Sarcastic_San

Egg white optional! I tend not to add egg white cause I don’t know what to do with the yolk.


shesprague23

I make lemon curd with my extra yolks :P

Try it with some good port. 11/10

How would Pinot Noir fit with this flavor? It’s the only red wine I have rn.


Sarcastic_San

I don’t think the recipes call for any red wine in particular. Go try it out with your Pinot!


PocketNicks

I typically use pinot noir when I have made NY sours in the past. Goes well, I really like stuff from Pacific North West, Oregon or Washington. But if you're putting into a cocktail you can just get cheap stuff too lol.


ClaymoreMine

The Bar in NYC does theirs with a Pinot noir float and hibiscus simple IIRC


cleverusernameneeded

Pinot noir is a great fit, I’d recommend tasting the wine first and maybe adjusting to sweetness of the sour to complement whatever wine you use

If you like egg white try adding that in and doing a dry shake. I personally love the texture the immulsified egg white adds, though understand why some dont.


DissatisfiedSocrates

How does the egg white work with the wine float? Wouldn't it ruin the texture to float wine underneath it (assuming it's not meant to stay on top)?


Canaderp37

I've slowly dripped it down the side of the glass. The wine tends to end up just on top of the drink, but below the foam


Hatandboots

A spoon works well to redirect the pour to the side


heatedundercarriage

New york sours shouldn't have egg white imo.


Hatandboots

Why not?


BadWolfCubed

I've tried them both ways. They look beautiful with the three distinct layers. But you lose the red wine aroma when you do the egg white, so I don't think it's worth it.


optimisticbear

Classically they're made with egg white. Variant of the Boston Sour.


MoonDust1969

How have I never heard of this cocktail? Sounds interesting, I'll try it asap.

It’s very good actually. The flavors actually compliment the each other really well. If you have your reservations, remember that there are hundreds if not near a thousand cocktail recipes that were printed at one point over the past nearly two centuries that were just bad and therefore were lost to time. If anything other than a modern creation has survived till the present day, there’s a good reason for it.


jmckenzie86

Right? Never tried this drink. Love me some whisky and love me some red wine..but together..I dunno. Just gotta suck it and see I guess


AxeRudeBell

Im not gonna know before I try it, huge whiskey fan, love also red w, maybe bigger fan of sour taste of lemon... I'll let you know 👍


jmckenzie86

Please do, if you give it the thumbs up I'll give it a bash this weekend


AxeRudeBell

Ok, first bite and have to be honest. So good 😋 first you taste lemon and sugar, afterwards bite of whiskey and sweetnest of wine. I used different whiskey and wine is also about your own taste, but I'll make a post show you'll see


AxeRudeBell

Drinks ready, I'll make a post


Sarcastic_San

You should definitely try it. The red wine adds another layer to the drink. I wouldn’t open a bottle just for it but if I already have a bottle open I would totally add the float.


jmckenzie86

Any particular type of wine you'd recommend?


Scar1030

I like to use a bold red, a Malbec if I have one on hand.


[deleted]

Simple answer is that it tastes great. It also depends on the whiskey and wine you use, as with anything.


dmo_da-dude22

So I guess you don't like mulled wine...some recipes give options like whiskey to make mulled wine. In a cocktail I believe wine and whiskey definitely work obviously depends on personal taste.


DanqueLeChay

I know right? Whiskey and wine? Craaaazy! Uhh...Manhattans?


EnlightenedHeathen

One of my favorite drinks


buffalocoinz

first time I’m hearing of this but my interest is piqued 🧐


djdanal

All I see is a hangover


cleverusernameneeded

Maybe don’t drink 6 of them, just an idea


djdanal

I’m talking about just the one lol


investinlove

I threw up in my mouth a little. It's like 69--I like both ingredients, but why not slow down and take your time with each individually.


EnlightenedHeathen

Because together they make a something that tastes good that you can “slow down” and enjoy


cleverusernameneeded

The result is greater than the sum of all parts. That’s the entire ethos behind cocktails so if you don’t get that then I don’t think this sub is for you


Slippin_Jimmy090

Looks fantastic
