COCKTAIL RECIPE
New York Sour
The New York Sour is an impressive variation on the classic Whiskey Sour cocktail, made with red wine. It has a lemony and fresh whiskey sour on the bottom, with a layer of red wine slowly floated on top. This layer creates a very elegant visual contrast and adds a slightly fruity and tannic character to the drink.
The origin of the New York Sour dates back to the mid-19th century. At that time, there was a type of cocktail known as "Continental Sour" in America. These drinks were prepared by adding red wine to classic sour recipes.
Over time, this style became especially popular in bars in New York and the drink became known as the New York Sour. Manhattan bar culture and the cocktail books of the time played an important role in the spread of this cocktail.
“The most beautiful moments of life are not planned, they gain value when they are realized.”
The most interesting feature of New York Sour is that it combines two different characters in the same glass. The bottom has the refreshing acidity of lemon and the strong body of whiskey, while the top layer of red wine gives the drink a fruity aroma and a slightly tannic structure.
