Today we're making the Bourbon Renewal! This is a quick, easy drink recipe that's perfect for the colder weather (but great any season!). Considered a modern classic, the Bourbon Renewal was created roughly 20 years ago by Jeffrey Morgenthaler. It's a balance of bold bourbon with tart lemon, sweet black currants, and a touch of spice. For those looking for an easy intro (or reintroduction) to bourbon, this one's for you. Cheers!

I made this with Old Grandad 114 and one with Buffalo Trace and you were on the point about needing a higher proof. The Buffalo Trace for me got almost entirely lost but the Old Grandad 114 which is a bit fruity and rich for a high proof (and low cost) was perfect. A little hot but I got every flavor that went into this drink. Thanks for the fantastic recipe and video!

Hello Anders! My name is Anders as well. I've been following your channel for some months now, and I just wanna thank you for opening this door for me. I always thought cocktails were something you only could get at bars, but you've shown me that anyone can enjoy drinks at their home bar. I've recently been starting, and expanding my home bar, in order to serve my friends a few cocktails when they are at my place. It's a lot of fun playing around and creating these drinks for other people. It has become a new passion of mine, and I will keep watching your channel for new inspiration. I hope you will continue to make these wonderful videos. Kind regards Anders

Hey Anders, this is an excellent cocktail!! I was actually wondering what to do with my Creme de Mûre which I had left from the Bramble so i used this one instead of Cassis. also pumped up the whiskey to 70ml and went a bit less on the Mûre (10ml) because i thought the Bramble tasted a bit too much like a popcicle. Fantastic drink! I really enjoy your weekly recipes! Keep them coming!

I've been enjoying this so much for the last couple months. Buffalo Trace works too but Wild Turkey 101 is amazing in this. I went through almost an entire bottle of Giffard Cassis Noir de Bourgogne (which by the way is an amazing liqueur) only for this drink. There's also another spec (which I found in an YT video) that Jeffrey Morgenthaler uses for this which leans sweeter with only 1.5 oz of borubon. The type of lemon you use makes a huge difference and serving it up is a nice variation but for my taste the spec in this video, served on a big rock is the way to go.

Love your channel and your drink recipes. I really wanted to try this drink, but, unfortunately could not find creme de cassis near me. However, it turns out I had a bottle of Chambord, and tried it with that. Wow, what a revelation. Excellent drink. I also used Meyer lemons (which is what I had at the time). I highly recommend them as they are mellow and sweet and easy drinking. I call it the Bourbon Renaissance (patent pending). Try it if you have the chance. I am sure you will enjoy it. Thanks for the channel!
