About the Revolver
The Revolver, a modern classic cocktail, was created in the early 2000s by San Francisco bartender Jon Santer. A caffeinated twist on the classic Manhattan, this drink swaps sweet vermouth for coffee liqueur, adding depth and a hint of sweetness to its bold bourbon base. Orange bitters lend a bright, subtle complexity, while a flamed orange peel garnish adds both flair and a warm citrus aroma.
First served at Bruno’s and later perfected at Bourbon & Branch, the Revolver has become a favorite among fans of whiskey and coffee-forward cocktails. It’s simple to make yet sophisticated in flavor, perfect for impressing guests or enjoying as a nightcap.
