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!
