Instructions

Description: The Empire State Sour is a visually stunning and palate-pleasing innovative twist on the classic New York Sour. This cocktail maintains the original's balance of whiskey sour sweetness and red wine's dry complexity, while introducing a hint of apple to pay homage to the "Big Apple". A delicate layer of spiced froth and apple chip garnish adds sophistication and a nod to New York's fall seasons. Ingredients: - 2 oz Rye whiskey (a nod to New York's pre-Prohibition preference) - 1/2 oz Apple brandy (for that Big Apple twist) - 3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice (for tartness and brightness) - 1/2 oz Simple syrup (to balance the sour) - 1 oz Dry red wine (a quality Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot works well) - 1 Egg white (to create a silky foam) - Dash of Angostura bitters (for a hint of complexity) - Apple chip (for garnish) - A pinch of ground cinnamon (to garnish the froth) Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine the rye whiskey, apple brandy, lemon juice, simple syrup, egg white, and Angostura bitters. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 2. Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 10-15 seconds to chill and dilute the mixture. 3. Strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with ice to create a smooth, frothy layer on top. 4. Carefully pour the red wine over the back of a spoon to float it on top of the drink, creating a beautiful two-layer effect. 5. Place the apple chip on the froth and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top for aromatic garnish. Type of Glass to Serve in: Serve in a traditional rocks glass to display the drink's layered beauty and to echo the old-school style of the classic New York Sour.
