Combine the whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.
Fill both the cocktail shaker and a low ball cocktail glass with ice.
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.
Make a red wine float by slowly drizzling the red wine over the back of a small spoon over your cocktail glass.
Serve with a lemon peel garnish (optional) and enjoy!

To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool completely.

Have your simple syrup made and cooled before making your cocktail.
Some recipes include adding one egg white to the shaker to get more of a frothy texture.
Swap the simple syrup for once ounce (one Tablespoon) of maple syrup.
Rub a piece of lemon peel around the rim of the glass before serving.
Try adding a dash of angostura bitters.
When serving, don't serve with a straw. You want to sip from the rim of the glass.
