Ingredients

  • 1 large egg white
  • 4 ounces rye whiskey
  • ounces fresh lemon juice

  • 1 ounce full-bodied red wine

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Shake egg white, whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker until frothy, about 1 minute. Fill shaker with ice and shake until outside is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into 2 coupe glasses. Gently pour 1/2 ounce wine over the back of a spoon held just above each drink's surface so wine floats on top.
