🥃 Serve in: Whiskey Sour Glass
A classic Whiskey Sour gets topped with a float of red wine that slowly bleeds down through the drink, building a layered look bartenders can't resist and a dark-fruit depth the base sour doesn't have on its own. The wine's tannins cut nicely against all that lemon and sugar. Garnished with lemon and cherry, it's as much a display piece as a drink.
Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Float claret on top. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon and the cherry and serve.
