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
  1. Dry shake the rye, lemon, simple, and egg whites to build the foam.
  2. Add ice, shake again, and strain over a large rock.
  3. Float the Aura Teranino over the back of a spoon so it sits in a red layer.
