Summertime is all about punches, sangrias and fruit-forward cocktails. Two of my favourite summertime sippers is definitely the New York Sour and Sangria. Both reminiscent of each other, I created a combinatory version of the two, providing you with the best of both worlds. I love the multi-layered aesthetic of this cocktail – the green of the sage, yellow of the pineapple juice and red of the wine mimics a stop light. Except don’t stop. Go to town on this drink.
INGREDIENTS
1 oz Rye Whiskey
0.5 oz Triple Sec
2-3 oz Red Wine
2-3 oz Pineapple Juice
4 dashes Grapefruit Bitters
1-2 sprigs of Sage
INSTRUCTIONS
You will build this cocktail directly in the glass in which it’s served. In a tall glass or Collins glass add sage and lightly muddle then fill with crushed ice add the rye, triple sec, bitters, and pineapple juice. Using the back of a spoon, carefully pour wine overtop of spoon and into glass, allowing for the wine to rest on top of the drink. Garnish with sage or flowers and a straw.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
While there’s no straw in this photo, I’d recommend serving this with a straw to allow guests to stir the mixture together before drinking. This will allow for the full infusion of flavours.
