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!
I use unmarked dice for giving Bardic Inspiration in D&D. Pass them out to other players when you give inspiration so they don't forget they have it. Those would be super rad for the right character.
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
Cheers Anders! Great name. Happy you’re exploring new cocktails at home (guessing your friends are happy too). Appreciate you following the channel. Hope these recipes keep you going - happy mixing!
One of my favourite, I used to use it as a template for improvise drinks, i made basics sours but instead of just simple syrup split the sweet with a liqueur, i made these for poeple who weren't too used to drinking spirits and they loved it
This is so crazy! I was at work yesterday and made this drink just off a random google for bourbon/cassis, then come home to see your video! Great content as always Anders!
I've been making this for about a month now - I'm glad to see it highlighted here on your wonderful channel. I subbed out the bourbon for a rye for an added spice that I think really makes this pop. Thanks for all of the inspiration!
Holy cow! I made this for the first time two days ago and I'm in love! I only had a rye to use as I'm out of bourbon, but it was still amazing. And it gives me a way to use up the creme de cassis I picked up in France. Cheers Anders!
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.
As always, great video! For those of us who are aspiring to make our own recipes, I’d love to see a video on some techniques you brushed on at the end about balancing cocktails.
When I first sat this I said, “This is an old fashioned with lemon juice and Creme de cassis.” Gonna have to try this. Still waiting for the White Russian video.
These are fantastic and a staple at our house. A variation worth considering is to serve over crushed ice and they also work well with Cardamom bitters. Cheers!
I came across this a few weeks ago and I've made it a number of times since (also with semi-rich syrup, because that's what I had available at the time). It really is wonderful and easily customizable to each palate.
I love the nerdy side trip! I’m not drinking for a while but I still love your channel. I just bought 3 different non-alcoholic gins…didn’t know it was a thing…we’ll see how they taste
New to the channel and this was the first recipe I've tried that you've featured. I love this cocktail! Seems more of a warm weather drink to me but I can't stop myself from having it now, in the winter. Thanks!
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!
@@boyfromoz7 I go down to 3/4 oz lemon and 3/4 oz cassis and bump up the bourbon in proof (anything 100 and over - WT 101 is my basic starting point) and adjust amount up if needed from there. Now to find some lemons for tonight!
Happy Holidays, Anders & Az. Love the quick, simple, and classic vids -- Especially when it features Whisky; Or Whiskey, since it's Bourbon. P.S. I made it to Ward Eight on a Chicago Trip last weekend. It was great! Highlight was a white negroni w/ Malort. The joint is definitely in good hands, now that you're on to a new journey. Cheers/Salud!
I appreciate this channel. One of my all time favorite cocktails. I really appreciate the connection/comparison to other cocktails like the Bramble. Great work!
Definitely going to try this one! Might do Demerara syrup instead though. Big fan of the channel, I’ve learned a lot from you, thank you 💪🏽 keep making greatness!
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!
Hey Anders! Can't wait to make this drink tonight, keep up the good work. Had a suggestion! Like the beginning of this video you could add a closing line where you say something like "And while you're enjoying this drink, why don't you watch blah blah blah next" (and link to something in a similar that youve made in the past).
Just made one and drinking it now..... not bad. using 120 proof bourbon (think higher proof is a must to cut through lemon and sweetness) and all I could find was Hiram Walker Crème de Cassis (which seems of dubious quality). Went for the half oz of simple syrup. IMO it feels a little overpowered by the 1oz of lemon (freshly squeezed meyer lemons which are generally sweeter). Feels a little too sour though all the recipes I see call for 1oz. Maybe it's a me thing. Maybe try it with 1/2 oz of lemon? Not sure it taking over from Old Fashions as yet.
I love the comment about mapping out drinks...but...they pretty much all go back to Daiquiri. This Bourbon Renewal is a Whiskey Sour with a modifier...and the whiskey sour is a Whiskey Daiquiri. You mentioned bramble? Modified Gin Rickey / Daisy...which is also just a Gin Daiquiri. Moscow Mule? Daiquiri...so many drinks...daiquiris. Kind of makes it easy.
I have 2 silicone trays for making ice cubes, I have a reverse osmosis filter for making pure water, Yet I have only one ice left because I was lazy every evening of the last 10 days and did NOT fill the trays for having enough ice at hand.
Excellent cocktail. Loved the semi-rich simple syrup tip! Did it with Bullet Bourbon, a low-budget cassis liqueur, and lime (reduced to half oz). Big fan of your channel! Cheers
Finally found all the ingredients for one of your cocktails. So funny, go into the big city, and all the trendy, edgy, bartenders are just serving what you teach us all. Saw this one in a barbecue joint just yesterday. You are good peeps, Anders, my liver is thankful you aren’t my next door neighbor. ✌️
Also, singling out any of Morgenthaler's recipes as most popular one is rather hard. I knew his eggnogs recipes and Amaretto sour, but never heard of Bourbon revival.
Thai is one of my all time favourites, it shouldn’t be this tasty haha. I go heavy on the bitters. Do you reckon a little absinthe would also work in this cocktail? I never tried but it feels like an obvious complement. Enjoy your weekend Anders, cheers
Finally made one of these. I used creme de mure instead of creme de cassis, because it's what I had from making brambles. I find this one quite tart with the full ounce of lemon juice. Do you think subbing the creme de mure makes a huge difference?
I rarely comment, but I just had to commend the way you articulated about how to tweak variations on this recipe. I'm very inspired, especially to try it with the Angel's Envy bourbon I just treated myself to. I think the cassis will work much with that port cask. Thanks Anders!
General request. Are you able to do a video on all the different bitters available (well not all) and maybe mention the cocktails that use them. I picked up Dillion's orange bitter recently and am really enjoying them.
Love this drink! I’ve actually been experimenting with different base spirits. I’ve tried bourbon (obviously), gin, and cognac, but I actually landed on calvados being my favorite! I think it makes for sort of a fruit punch vibe. Would definitely recommend!
I made this and enjoyed it, first time using Creme de Cassis, it spurred me to then try a “Fogerty” which I also liked. For the renewal…would it be offside to make this with an egg white like a typical “sour”? I think it would add some silky complexity to it…
Happy weekend, everybody! Who's making this one tonight? 🥃

No bourbon, guess I'm having a "last drops of Jameson renewal"
@@liamblood5239 sounds good to me!
Tonight's Scottish Seasides and Bobby Burns.
Yes! Curious to the combination with crème de cassis. Btw, awesome glass you’re using :)
ME!!! Just got the crème de chassis from the store.
It’s 11am on Black Friday, I have nothing else to do, why WOULDNT I make this right now?!
I sure can't think of a reason 🥃
An excellent breakfast drink, I agree!
'cause it's friday, you ain't got no job. And you ain't got shit to do!
You go right ahead...I fully support you !!! 👏
Nothing wrong with some daytime drinking!👍

Cheers Anders! Great name. Happy you’re exploring new cocktails at home (guessing your friends are happy too). Appreciate you following the channel. Hope these recipes keep you going - happy mixing!
I love and appreciate the way you encourage people to change the ratios of the cocktails. To me, that’s so wholesome. ☺️
One of my favourite, I used to use it as a template for improvise drinks, i made basics sours but instead of just simple syrup split the sweet with a liqueur, i made these for poeple who weren't too used to drinking spirits and they loved it
I also once or twice made it with blanton's boubon, wich a thought was too expensive of a bourbon to use in a sour, but in was so much better !
This is so crazy! I was at work yesterday and made this drink just off a random google for bourbon/cassis, then come home to see your video! Great content as always Anders!
LUV this cocktail, and now I finally have a use for the Crème de Cassis that has been idle in my cabinet for a WHILE…
Delicious! Just made one for my husband. Wow! He loves it. I'm not normally a bourbon drinker, but this is a gateway bourbon drink! 😂❤
The Best Bartender I know!!...well i don't 'know yah'....but you know what i mean!! Cheers your Canadian Bartender!
Made this drink just after I finished work. Definitely gonna make thus regularly...
Any day with a new creme de cassis recipe is a GOOD day
I've been making this for about a month now - I'm glad to see it highlighted here on your wonderful channel. I subbed out the bourbon for a rye for an added spice that I think really makes this pop. Thanks for all of the inspiration!
Rye Renewal - love it 🥃
Holy cow! I made this for the first time two days ago and I'm in love! I only had a rye to use as I'm out of bourbon, but it was still amazing. And it gives me a way to use up the creme de cassis I picked up in France. Cheers Anders!
This screams for a Bottled In Bond Whiskey. Evan Williams BIB, White Lable.... Tried it, and IT IS AMAZING!!!!! Cheers, AND, you are very welcome... 🙂
Jeffrey partnered with Ninkasi Brewing and is actually canning this cocktail now, and it's fantastic!
I’ll keep an eye out for it 👍
Finally! A drink I can make with things on hand!
Excellent - enjoy it!
whiskey cocktails are the best
Looks like a great drink for the winter.
Happy weekend as well... renewal of bourbon... what a title.

WOOZERS just made this one for New Years Eve. MMMM you are correct it’s YUMMY Thanks for the great recipe
This looks absolutely delicious!!
TO THE BAR! 🥃

That's a great video idea...
Just had two of these. Delightful!

Ooh love the cardamom bitters idea. Cheers, Gary!
What brand of cardamom bitters do you like?
@@AndersErickson What brand of cardamom bitters do you recommend?
Just made this but had to use a blackcurrant liquor as a substitute. I have to say it tasted like a throat lozenge. I kinda liked it.
Just made, it's a winner
Wow! I took a risk & served this at a get together today. What a hit! Thanks for introducing me to this drink.
I came across this a few weeks ago and I've made it a number of times since (also with semi-rich syrup, because that's what I had available at the time). It really is wonderful and easily customizable to each palate.
Happy, Jappy, Joy, Joy. Another Anders Erickson cocktail and I have all the ingredients!!!
Cheers, Robert!
@@AndersErickson Dayum, what an amazing cocktail! Last nights was with Wolford Reserve, and tonight's will be with Sonoma Cherrywood Burbon.
Yussss! This is my drank! So glad you did a video on it. Thank you sir! 🙏🥰
This was so good I forgot to comment last week. Only now when I made it again did I realize my mistake.
I love the nerdy side trip! I’m not drinking for a while but I still love your channel. I just bought 3 different non-alcoholic gins…didn’t know it was a thing…we’ll see how they taste
My favorite cocktail to make, and drink!
Daamnn ... someone who does not wear a watch , you certainly make me want one.
I just made it. Oh my , it is so so good. Thank you for sharing. I love you guys. You and Az. Lol
I make this drink all the time at home for myself. Never knew it had a name lol
Whiskey cocktail watching world cup, why not?
Oh I think this would be amazing.
What a delight! Thanks for keeping it light and breezy, Anders!
Buffalo Trace distillery is awesome
New to the channel and this was the first recipe I've tried that you've featured. I love this cocktail! Seems more of a warm weather drink to me but I can't stop myself from having it now, in the winter. Thanks!
This has slowly turned into a personal favorite of mine by now… thank you Anders! Cheers!🥃
Yeah ill try this tonight too. Last week's cocktail was fantastic! Huge whisky fan here, so keep those kind of cocktails coming!
Glad you liked it! Cheers!
thank u daddy anders yes!
Great drink. I found it a few years ago when looking for more uses for our Cassis. Yum!
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 love this drink. I use a little different proportions (little less lemon and a little more bourbon- something higher proof).
Drinking my first one now, thinking less lemon myself. And the 120 proof seems on the money for this drink.
@@boyfromoz7 I go down to 3/4 oz lemon and 3/4 oz cassis and bump up the bourbon in proof (anything 100 and over - WT 101 is my basic starting point) and adjust amount up if needed from there. Now to find some lemons for tonight!
Making this tonight!
Another delicious cocktail!

Thanks, Mark! Happy to hear you made it to Chicago and had a good time at the bar. Cheers!
There's definitely a spark between you and your dog 😍🙃
Very tasty! I find it more as whisky sour, but with the black currant twist.
I appreciate this channel. One of my all time favorite cocktails. I really appreciate the connection/comparison to other cocktails like the Bramble. Great work!
Thanks, Eric! Cheers!
You guys have mirror image names. ERIC ANDERSon / ANDERS ERICkson. Carry on...
Definitely going to try this one! Might do Demerara syrup instead though. Big fan of the channel, I’ve learned a lot from you, thank you 💪🏽 keep making greatness!

After the rubbish football (soccer) just now I need something to perk me up. This looks perfect!
Just want to point out that 20% and then 10% off is not the same as 30% off😎
This looks delicious I’m definitely making one tonight.

Gumbo sounds amazing right about now. Enjoy it, Marc! Cheers!
Ah yes, now I have a reason to get some creme de cassis! Cheers Anders!
Cheers Sean!
I think you just made what is about to become my new favorite cocktail (sorry paper plane😅)… trying this tonight!
I won't tell the Paper Plane 🤐
Hey Anders, congrats on insider article about gin. Just saw it there the other day and decided to get myself a Plymouth bottle.
Any excuse I have to pull out the Crème de Cassis, I'm all for. Probably my favorite modifier.
Excellent cocktail. Loved the semi-rich simple syrup tip! Did it with Bullet Bourbon, a low-budget cassis liqueur, and lime (reduced to half oz). Big fan of your channel! Cheers
I used Chambord, and it was super. Didn't have Cream of casis available.

Loving the music. Need more puppy.
Would this work well if I made a "batch" of these say in a pitcher to serve to a small group of friends or are they best made individually?
I know how this works, I make the cocktail, get drunk, then wake up tomorrow morning only to discover I’ve ordered 5 of those watches.
Please do a Junglebird!! Fav drink ever
Thanks Anders! You continue to rock and this looks delicious. Got the 100 proof Evan but will try with the BT. Happy Thanksgiving.
Can't go wrong - love the Evan White Label too!

This is delicious!
