New York Sour

The New York Sour builds on the classic whiskey sour foundation, balancing bourbon's caramel warmth against bright citrus, but distinguishes itself with a float of red wine that settles into a striking gradient. The wine adds tannic depth and a subtle fruitiness that cuts through the drink's sweetness, while the optional egg white creates a silky texture and tempers the acidity. It's a visually dramatic cocktail with a flavor profile that shifts as you drink through its layers.
