Step 1

Combine the whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.

Step 2

Fill both the cocktail shaker and a low ball cocktail glass with ice.

Step 3

Shake your cocktail shaker until very cold on the outside, about 30 seconds. Pour the mixture over the ice into your cocktail glass, leaving a bit of room at the top for the wine.

Step 4

Make a red wine float by slowly drizzling the red wine over the back of a small spoon over your cocktail glass.

Step 5

Serve with a lemon peel garnish (optional) and enjoy!
