Ingredients
- 2 oz Bourbon
- 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice

Cocktail Preparation
Combine your rye or bourbon whiskey, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, cover, and shake for 20-30 seconds or until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Gently pour your red wine (perhaps a Shiraz or Malbec) over the back of a spoon held just above the drink’s surface so wine floats on top. Enjoy!
