Notes
To give this drink its proper visual appeal, carefully pour the red wine over the back of a bar spoon whose tip is just under the layer of egg white foam. When properly poured, the red wine should settle and float under the foam, creating a vivid red band between the white foam and the brown liquors below. Despair not if your initial efforts fail; on the upside, you can make the drink again (and again) until you get it right.
