Description:
The New York Sour is a Whiskey Sour variation with a float of red wine. Similar drinks appeared historically under different names, but the modern name tied it to New York bar culture. The wine adds color, dry fruit, and light tannin. It should not fully mix in at once: the top layer makes the first sip especially expressive.
