Whiskey New York Sour

2 oz. rye whiskey or bourbon

1 oz. lemon juice, freshly squeezed

3/4 oz. simple syrup

1 egg white (optional)

1/2 oz. red wine

Combine rye or bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (optional) in a shaker with ice. Shake until well chilled. Strain into a small shaker tin or glass and dispose of the ice. Shake again without ice to increase the foam of the egg white, if using. Pour into a rocks glass over ice (no straining needed for the double-shake method). Pour red wine over the back of a bar spoon into the glass. (Because of its specific density, it will sit in a layer on top of the whiskey and under the egg white foam.)

Tequila Watermelon Margarita

2 oz. blanco tequila

1 oz. triple sec

1 oz. lime juice

1 cup watermelon cubes

1/2 oz. agave syrup (optional)

Salt

Pepper

Watermelon wedge

Muddle watermelon cubes in a shaker tin until juice is extracted. Add tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave syrup. Add ice and shake until well chilled. Use the lime to wet the rim of the glass and dip or roll the glass in the salt and pepper mix. Use a mesh strainer to filter out the pulp while pouring into a glass with ice.

Garnish with watermelon wedge.
