History of New York Sour

The New York sour is a classic cocktail that is made with rye whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup, and red wine. The exact origins of the drink are unclear, but it is thought to have originated in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

One theory is that the New York sour was created by a bartender in New York City, who added a splash of red wine to a traditional whiskey sour to give it a more complex flavor.
