Greenwich Sour

0

A bourbon sour with lemon juice and sugar syrup, where egg white gives a silky body and red wine adds dry, fruity depth. Credited, though unconfirmed, to Employees Only in Manhattan in 2008.

A comment in The New York Times named Employees Only in Manhattan as the origin of the Greenwich Sour, but the bar could not confirm this. The recipe listed here comes from Temple Bar, which makes the drink with bourbon.
