I tried this with cinnamon syrup (because I forgot the syrup I had in my fridge wasn’t simple, but cinnamon…) and it was also very good. The cinnamon paired very well with the other flavours.

Shane – Nope, we use plain old 1:1 simple syrup for the Bourbon Renewal.

One of my favorite drinks at Clyde Commons. Thanks for the recipe, Jeff! One question: is that .5 oz of a 2:1 simple syrup? Mine was a little sweeter than I remember it being when I used the rich 2:1 syrup.

Oops! Sorry, Damon, let me edit that to read, “Shake ingredients with ice and strain over fresh ice into an old-fashioned glass.”

Jeffrey-
“mix ingredients and pour over ice”
Am I stirring with ice or no?

Went out and bought creme de cassis just so I could make this tonight. Fantastic. Great on the nose, can really taste the sour and sweetness on the front end, with a distinct whiskey finish.

Thanks for this cocktail! Clyde Common is definitely on my list the next time I’m in Portland.

I recently had this at El Vaquero while visiting Eugene (I’m from Jersey).

Very tasty drink. The creme de cassis and Maker’s Mark mixture is great. This is my new favorite drink. Too bad I have to make it myself to enjoy it in NJ.
