The New York Sour
The New York Sour is a classic cocktail named after the city of New York. It is believed that the drink first emerged in the bars of New York City during the Prohibition era in the 1920s, when incorporating wine into cocktails was a popular way to mask poor-quality alcohol. The New York Sour is a variation of the classic Whiskey Sour, distinguished by an additional layer of red wine on top. This addition gives it a unique color combination and a touch of elegance. The red wine also adds a slightly fruity note to the cocktail and imparts a pleasant aroma. Thanks to its simplicity and the use of readily available ingredients, the New York Sour is also very popular among amateur bartenders and home mixers. This cocktail is the perfect companion for social evenings or for an enjoyable happy hour drink.
