A New York Sour with the best Christmas movie (Die Hard) twist adds some depth and flavor to punch up this classic. New York sours have had a number of names including Fancy Sour, Chicago Sour, Continental Sour, Southern Whiskey Sour, and Claret Snap before finally coalescing into a New York Sour.
Now John McClane is nuts when he's pushed to be, so this iteration has some black walnut bitters, and in place of dry curaçao (fruity is not a common descriptor of the NYPD cop) I added a touch oh Kahlua for some sweetness, smoothness, and complementary coffee complexity.

-2oz Rye whiskey
-.5oz
-1oz Fresh lime juice
-.75oz Simple syrup
-1 Egg white
-2 dashes Black walnut bitters
-1 dash Orange bitters
-Add ice and shake harder than the last lead of autumn
-For more foam strain into another shaker and dry shake hard (optional)
-Strain into glass
-Add some ice
-Splash of soda water to boost the foam (optional)
-.5oz Red wine (I used a Pinot Noir as the cocktail was deepened with the Kahlua already, typically a denser red works well with whiskey, a lighter one worked well here)
