Two Slow Dancers Valentine’s Day Cocktail Recipe
INGREDIENTS
2 oz bourbon or rye
1 egg white
1 oz lemon
.75 oz raspberry syrup
Red wine float (something light-bodied, like a gamay)
Rocks glass for glassware
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine all ingredients except for the wine into a cocktail tin, top with ice and shake hard for about 15 seconds.
- Strain off the liquid into one side of the tin, and discard the ice. Reseal the tin well so it doesn’t come apart, then shake again for 30-45 seconds.
- Open the tin and strain the drink into a rocks glass with a large ice cube. You should have a heavy foam on the top of the drink from the use of the egg white.
- Allow the drink to settle for a few seconds, then using the back of a spoon, carefully float roughly half an ounce of red wine over the surface of the drink.
