Manhattan in Benicia
It’s time for a night cap after all the outings and family visits in the crisp evening air. If you don’t have a fireplace, kick on the Netflix fireplace and turn up the Billie Holiday. We’re making a Manhattan Sour.
This beverage consists of what you would find normally in a whiskey sour and a float of your left-over Merlot or Cabernet. A great end to your night with a garnet glow in your glass.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces rye whiskey or bourbon
- 1 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup
- 1 egg white (optional)
- 1/2 ounce red wine
Preparation
- Add the whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white (optional) into a shaker with ice and shake hard until well-chilled.
- Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
- Slowly pour the red wine over the back of a bar spoon so that the wine floats on top of the drink.
- Serve.
