Wine & Whiskey Cocktail - New York Sour

 

Last week was our virtual comedy & wine event with the hilarious female comedian Calise Hawkins!  We celebrated the release of her first comedy album Calise Hawkins is 40AF! The album is currently available on all digital platforms and currently #1 on ITUNES! 

 

 

We've known Calise for a long time but we didn't know her favorite adult beverages were Jameson Whiskey & dry red wine. She also resides in the New York area so we wanted to combine all those fun facts into one cocktail! We searched online and found a cocktail called the New York Sour. It's a spin-off of the famous whiskey sour but even better because it's topped with wine!

 

 

OMG, we love this drink. No seriously, it is so flavorful! In one cocktail, you get tart, sweet, whiskey, and wine. It reminded us of an amaretto sour!

 

Directions

Step 1: Fill a Shaker with Ice and 2 short glasses with ice

Step 2: Add 4 ounces Whiskey, 2 ounces lemon juice, & 2 ounces simple syrup in the shaker

Step 3: Put cap on shaker and shake for about 15 seconds

Step 4: Strain drink mixture into glass filled with ice

Step 5: Slowly pour the wine on the back of a spoon into the glass. By doing this you will create a layering effect with the whiskey and wine.

How to make homemade simple syrup?

In a saucepan add equal amounts of water and sugar. Bring to a boil and then simmer until a syrup consistency. Store in an air tight bottle or jar.
