Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Stir all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  2. Flame orange peel.

Tip: Stir with plenty of cold, hard ice for 20 to 30 seconds. You want it chilled and silky, not cloudy.

About the Revolver

Jon Santer created it around 2004 at Bourbon & Branch in San Francisco: a Manhattan-style drink with coffee liqueur in place of vermouth.

Missing something?

  • No Bourbon? Use Jim Beam Bourbon (Jim Beam is a bourbon)
  • No Bourbon? Use Jack Daniels (Tennessee whiskey is made much like bourbon)
