Dating back to the 1800’s, this cocktail was originally called the Continental Sour. But after its popularity spiked in New York City, it is now more commonly known as the New York Sour. The recipe is based off of the classic Whiskey Sour, with the only difference being the red wine float. While we prefer it with egg white for a bit of creaminess, this cocktail can be made with or without the egg at all and is forgiving enough to be made with any dry red wine you have lying around. Cheers!
