A bold, minimalist blend of bourbon, coffee liqueur, and orange bitters, The Revolver looks like a Manhattan, leans like an Old Fashioned, and tastes like neither. Created by Jon Santer in the early 2000's, it proved to be a slow burn at first but it's since gone on to become a heavyweight among modern classics, featured on menus around the world. Listen on to hear how it all unfolded from Jon Santer himself, including how a debate with jazz musicians would inspire the Revolver's name; how an act of resistance against the local cocktail movement of the time would influence its composition; and how a flaming orange coin tied everything together.
