Maple New York Sour

Ingredients

• ounce s(1/4 cup) rye whiskey or bourbon (I like Rieger’s brand-a local Kansas City distillery-and Bulleit)
• ounce(2 tablespoon s) fresh lemon juice
• to4 teaspoon smaple syrup, to taste (I like3 teaspoon s, which is the equivalent of1/2 ounce or1 tablespoon)
• 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) fruity red wine*

Instructions

1. Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar about two thirds full 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!
