Revolver

Revolver is often dubbed as a Manhattan with a caffeine kick. It was created by San Francisco mixologist John Santer, sometimes in the early 2000s. The cocktail combines bourbon, coffee liqueur, and a dash of orange bitters. To make the cocktail, the ingredients are mixed in a mixing glass filled with ice.

When chilled, the mix is strained into a coupe glass. A flamed orange peel is used as a garnish. Originally, this cocktail was made with Bulleit Bourbon, a Kentucky with a high rye content. Although contemporary variations suggest other bourbons, it is recommended to stick to Santer's original suggestion.
