Fruity reds work well for this float, but whatever you have on hand will do. In a pinch, maple syrup and agave are good substitutes for rich (2:1 sugar to water) simple syrup.

Ingredients
  • 2

    ounces rye whiskey

  • 1

    ounce lemon juice

  • ½

    ounce orange juice

  • ½

    ounce rich simple syrup

  • ¼-1/2

    ounce red wine

Step 1

In a cocktail shaker, combine the rye, juices and syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for 15 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass.

Step 2

Pour the wine into a jigger or small cup. Balance a spoon, domed side up, over the cocktail, then slowly pour the wine onto the back of the spoon so it settles over the cocktail.
