About The New York Sour Cocktail
“Generally, port has a round, comforting, viscous sweetness that can play really nicely with Sours, Bucks and Mules,” says Sarah Rosner, the head bartender at Bourbon Steak in Washington, D.C. A healthy one-ounce pour of tawny port in place of the traditional red wine will lend nutty and caramel notes.

How to make The New York Sour Cocktail
Add the bourbon, simple syrup and lemon juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled.
Strain into a double rocks glass over fresh ice.
Slowly pour the port into the drink over a bar spoon held upside down.
Give the glass a light swirl to move the port across the entire surface of the cocktail.
