What is a New York Sour ? In layman’s terms, it’s a Whiskey Sour with a red wine float — but it’s also so much more than that. Oddly enough, the New York Sour (a.k.a. the Continental Sour, the Southern Sour, and the Brunswick Sour) was believed to be invented in Chicago in the late 1800s. After numerous recipe tweaks and a fall into relative obscurity by the mid- to late 1900s, the drink was rediscovered during the second wave of the modern cocktail renaissance in the early 2010s.

After over 200 years of crafting high-end cherry-infused liqueurs, Luxardo has become synonymous with the Maraschino cherry. If you’ve ever ordered a Manhattan, you’ve likely come across the brand’s iconic sweet cherries as the garnish. Or maybe you’ve used its classic Maraschino liqueur to mix up a Last Word or Martinez. Either way, there’s no denying that Luxardo has ingrained itself in modern cocktail culture with a single stone fruit.

For the past couple of years, we’ve made holiday eggnogs. First there was a Black Walnut Brandy Rum Manhattan eggnog. Then there was a Cynar Boulevardier eggnog. Both of these were built on the notion that you can take most stirred-and-boozy cocktails, especially those with aged spirits, and convert them into an eggnog. Both of those cocktail eggnogs had the benefit of being novel and interesting as well as delicious.
