Autumn Wine Cocktail

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add simple syrup, bourbon, and lemon juice. Cover, and shake vigorously for 5 to 10 seconds.

Strain into 4 chilled wine glasses. Top each glass with 3 ounces red wine, poured slowly over the back of a spoon so that wine floats on top of syrup mixture.

In a small saucepan, bring all ingredients to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, strain, and let cool completely.
