New York Sour
Classic
Makes 2 cocktails
A whiskey sour with a red-wine float—Aura Teranino bleeds down through the foam for color and depth.
Ingredients
- 4 oz rye whiskey (Bulleit 95)
- 1 ½ oz fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ oz simple syrup
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 dashes cherry bitters (Fee Brothers)
- 1 oz Aura Teranino (to float)
Method
- Dry shake the rye, lemon, simple, and egg whites to build the foam.
- Add ice, shake again, and strain over a large rock.
- Float the Aura Teranino over the back of a spoon so it sits in a red layer.
