Whiskey Sour with a Red Wine Twist

So many recipes to choose from and so little time to enjoy them all before I decide which one goes into my newsletter.  October goes to the whiskey sour with a red wine finish.  I myself am a big fan of Balistreri wine (locally owned here in Colorado).  It was a great pleasure to get to combine two of my favorite things… rye whiskey and Balistreri wine.
 

2 ounces rye whiskey ( I used Bulleit)
1 ounce simple syrup
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
ice
Combine all ingredients in your cocktail shaker and shake to combine.  pour into a rocks glass with fresh ice.
Last but not least
 Take a ½ ounce of a fruitful flavor red wine and pour it over the back of a spoon to allow it to float on top of the glass.
 
Perfect holiday treat
