New York Sour
Cocktail Recipe
The New York Sour is a variation of the classic Whiskey Sour, known for its distinctive red wine float layered on top of the drink. While the exact origin is debated, the style became associated with bartenders in New York City during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Combining whiskey, fresh lemon juice, sugar syrup, and a carefully poured wine layer, it’s a visuallyc striking twist on a well-known sour.

Bartender tip: If you're short on time, you can just do one shake of the ingredients. But shaking twice helps to create a thick foam which sits beautifully on top of the drink.
The New York Sour takes a classic whiskey sour and elevates it with a float of red wine. A small but simple twist that adds depth, colour and a whole new flavour.
