The 146

Ingredients

  • 2 oz. (¼ cup) rye whiskey or bourbon - I used Jack Daniels Black Barrel
  • 1 oz. (2 tablespoons) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 to 4 teaspoons Wood's Maple Syrup, to taste (I like 3 teaspoons, which is the equivalent of ½ ounce or 1 tablespoon)
  • ½ ounce (1 tablespoon) fruity red wine

Directions

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar about two-thirds full with ice. Pour in the whiskey, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Securely fasten the lid and shake for about 30 seconds.

  2. Pour fresh ice into your cocktail glass. Strain the cold whiskey sour mixture into the glass.

  3. Slowly pour the wine over the back of a spoon held just above the drink’s surface, so it has a nice layered effect.

  4. Sip up!
