😍 This bourbon cocktail is a MUST 🥃
.
This cocktail was created nearly 20 years ago by the brilliant Jeffrey Morgenthaler (@jeffmorgen), and many consider this a modern classic. The origin of the name comes from his friend’s band name at the time. This cocktail is a wonderful twist on a whiskey sour with the addition of delicious blackcurrant liqueur (crème de cassis). Now, go pick some up and make this BANGER 💥
.
🥃 BOURBON RENEWAL 🍋
1½ oz. / 45 ml. bourbon
½ oz. / 15 ml. crème de cassis
¾ oz. / 22.5 ml. fresh lemon juice
½ oz. / 15 ml. simple syrup
1 dash Angostura bitters
.
What do you all think?
.
Cheers! 🥂
❤️ Daniel

I’m still in shock over how incredible my experience at the 2024 @deepeddyvodka Craft the Fun finals was. It was truly one of the best experiences I’ve had in my bartending career. I’m also still flabbergasted that I won. I’ve been bartending for over a decade but didn’t even think about entering a competition until this year. (Shout out to @travisodegard for encouraging me!) I poured my heart and soul into the 5 drinks I designed for this competition, and spent countless hours tweaking the same drinks over and over. Sorry for the mess in our kitchen @cheezynyc 😅
For finals, we had to design 3 new cocktails around the idea of “fun”—so naturally I thought “VAMPIRES!” And then made 3 drinks inspired by infamous vamps of pop culture. (And yes I dressed up as a fangtastic ghoul. Spooky season is 24/7 y’all.)
But this whole trip truly redefined “fun” for me. Hanging out with all the competitors, judges and brand ambassadors was amazing. It’s incredible to see how much talent and creativity everyone has. We all approached this competition so differently and it was such a learning experience. Mega shout out to the judges for their kind words of encouragement and wisdom, but also for being so fun! Also mega congrats to @nichebycoqtale on her second place win. Your drink designs were mind-blowing and delicious and your presentation was impeccable! Idt I’ll ever get over that bathtub glassware! 
And huge shout out to @toferphotos for taking all of these incredible photos of our experiences, including documenting my giant burnt check and that time @through_thescope and I decided to dance to Pitbull in the party bus. 😅
For years I never thought I was good enough to enter in these competitions. I began as a dive bartender at a local college bar (I’ll love you forever Exchange Bar & Grill) instead of starting at a cocktail lounge. I’ve worked just about every position you can in a bar (even coat check) and have really seen the good, the bad and the ugly of this industry. (Let’s start paying service industry workers a REAL minimum wage please.) But competitions like this and the community they facilitate make it all worth it and remind me why I love this industry so much!♥️
