HOW to make a New York Sour

  • Frist, we make the spiced pear syrup. Add the copped pear, sugar, water, cinnamon, cloves & lemon to a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Cool, strain and refrigerate. (The syrup will keep for 4 weeks once it’s refrigerated).
  • Then, add all ingredients except the red wine to a shaker and dry shake without ice.
  • Add ice to your shaker and shake again.
  • Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice.
  • Gently pour the red wine over a spoon just above to drink to float it on top of the cocktail.
  • Turn up the Christmas tunes & enjoy!
