Revolver Cocktail Recipe
The Revolver: A Spirited Fusion of Whiskey and CoffeeBorn in the early 2000s in San Francisco, the Revolver is a modern classic that jazzes up the timeless Manhattan with a shot of coffee liqueur. Created by bartender Jon Santer, the cocktail first made waves at Bruno’s before becoming a staple at the renowned Bourbon & Branch bar.Unlocking the Original RevolverThe cocktail was originally crafted with Bulleit bourbon, known for its rye-heavy spiciness. While you can use any quality bourbon, sticking with Bulleit pays homage to the drink's roots.The Secret Sauce: Flaming Orange PeelWhat sets the Revolver apart is its flamed orange peel garnish, adding a warm, citrusy aroma. Don't worry, you don't need to be a pyrotechnic expert. Just strike a match and hold it close to the drink's surface. Squeeze a strip of orange peel, skin side facing the flame, to release its oils through the flame and onto the drink. It's a simple yet impressive flourish that adds both flair and flavor.Pro Tip: The Revolver appeals to fans of both classic whiskey cocktails and coffee-based drinks. It's a versatile option that can be served at dinner parties, whiskey tastings, or whenever you're in the mood for something a little adventurous.
