New York Sour Recipes

Steps:

• In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the bourbon or rye with lemon juice, simple syrup and bitters. Cover and shake until very cold, then strain into 8 small glasses.
• Working shot by shot, gently pour 1/4 ounce wine (1 1/2 teaspoons) over the back of a small spoon held just above each drink's surface so the wine floats on top.

Steps:

• Combine 2 ounces rye or bourbon whiskey, 1 ounce fresh lemon juice, and 1 ounce simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, cover, and shake until outside of shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Gently pour 1/2 ounce fruity red wine (such as Shiraz or Malbec) over the back of a spoon held just above the drink's surface so wine floats on top.

Steps:

• Pour the whiskey, lemon juice, maple syrup and bitters into a cocktail shaker. Stir the egg white with a fork to loosen it, then add it to the shaker. Shake really well to froth up the egg white. Add a good handful of ice and shake again.
• Once the outside of the shaker is really cold, double strain into a glass filled with ice.
• Slowly pour the red wine on top and leave to settle for a few moments - the wine will rise to just under the frothy egg white.

Steps:

• Pour 150ml boiling water over the tea leaves, stir, then strain straight away. You want a strong, but not stewed tea. Mix in the vanilla extract and leave to cool.
• Pour the lemon juice, maple syrup and 50ml of the tea into a cocktail shaker. Stir the egg white with a fork to loosen it, then add 1 tbsp to the shaker. Shake well until the mixture is frothy. Add a good handful of ice and shake again.
• Double strain into a glass filled with ice. Top up the pomegranate juice with water to make 20ml, then slowly pour into the glass. Let it settle for a moment - the juice will float just underneath the egg white foam.

Steps:

• Shake egg white, whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker until frothy, about 1 minute. Fill shaker with ice and shake until outside is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into 2 coupe glasses. Gently pour ½ ounce wine over the back of a spoon held just above each drink's surface so wine floats on top.
