About

The Bourbon Renewal is a modern classic from Seattle bartender Jeff Morgenthaler — a cleverly constructed bourbon sour that swaps simple syrup for crème de cassis, letting the blackcurrant liqueur do double duty as both sweetener and flavor. The result is a bourbon sour that's more complex and fruity than its simple recipe suggests, with deep berry notes weaving through the citrus and whiskey. A dash of Angostura bitters ties everything together. It's the kind of drink that seems too simple to be as good as it is — which is exactly what makes it such an enduring bartender's recommendation.
