Ingredients: 2 ounces (¼ cup) rye whiskey or bourbon (I like Rieger’s brand—a local Kansas City distillery—and Bulleit); 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) fresh lemon juice; 2 to 4 teaspoons maple syrup or simple syrup, to taste (I like 3 teaspoons, which is the equivalent of ½ ounce or 1 tablespoon); ½ ounce (1 tablespoon) fruity red wine*

Learn how to make a New York sour cocktail. I sweeten mine with maple syrup instead of simple syrup for a subtle flavor boost! Recipe as written below yields one cocktail. You can make two or three cocktails at once in your cocktail shaker; just pour them over ice and top each one with a wine float as explained below.

1 Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar with ice. Pour in the whiskey, lemon juice and maple syrup. Securely fasten the lid and shake for about 30 seconds.
2 Pour fresh ice into your cocktail glass. Strain the cold whiskey sour mixture into the glass. Slowly pour the wine over the back of a spoon held just above the drink’s surface, so it has a nice layered effect. Sip up!
