Styled after a New York Sour, a fancy drink that combines both wine and whiskey, this is a simpler easier to make version of that cocktail. It uses a dark red wine, and has a deeper flavor that works perfectly with the whiskey.

WHAT TYPE OF WHISKEY SHOULD I USE?

You can use whatever whiskey that you love and have on hand, though our preference is Knob Creek.

WHAT TYPE OF RED WINE SHOULD I USE?

We used a really simple, just barely sweet red blend. We would also recommend Pinot Noir or a Cabernet.

CAN I MIX WHISKEY AND WINE?

You absolutely can. The idea that mixing wine and liquor will make you sick is a myth. As long as you drink this in moderation, just like any liquor, you will be good to go.

Besides. It’s delicious.
