Half Full over at The Daily Beast an Bulleit Bourbon were kind enough to let me do this quick video at home about one of our most popular drinks at the bar, the Bourbon Renewal.

We just recently discovered your delicious work in partnership with Ninkasi! Is this the same recipe as the Bourbon Renewal in your video? Also is the Gin Ricky a variation to the Richmond Gimlet you used to make at El Vaquero? The Paloma is delish too! Cocktails in a can are genius & SO much fun & easier when camping, boating or just lazy! Thank you – we appreciate your talent & talk about your mad skillz from El Vaquero many years ago! Cheers!
Yes, they are both lighter, carbonated versions of both of those drinks!
One of my favorite whiskey cocktails. Sadly, many bartenders are not clued in. I was recently in Washington DC at an establishment with a serious looking (and seriously priced) bar. I asked if the bartender was “pretty good” and the waiter said “yes.” So I ordered a Bourbon Renewal. He came back and said “no.” Not, tell me about it, but “no”. OK. Moved on to another drink. Reminded me of once ordering a “Scotch Mist” and the word came back “we are out of mist.” Right. So I ordered “Scotch with cracked or crushed ice” and they “had that.” Spread the word on the Renewal, please.
