Method

  1. Add the bourbon, Angostura bitters, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg whites (or aquafaba) to your cocktail shaker and shake well.
  2. Add ice to the cocktail shaker and shake again until the mix is well-chilled.
  3. Strain into an Old Fashioned glass over ice.
  4. Pour the red wine over the back of a bar spoon so it’s distributed evenly and floats on top of the mix.
  5. Garnish with a slice of lemon.
