Revolver

Revolver

4 min

The Revolver is a modern bourbon cocktail built for coffee lovers. It's always anchored by whiskey, coffee liqueur, and orange bitters, which is why it drinks like the intersection of an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan, but with a roasted, espresso-like backbone. Using Atomic Black keeps the coffee note bold and specialty-grade, adding depth without making the drink syrupy. It's smooth, spirit-forward, and perfect as an after-dinner pour.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 oz Atomic Black
  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 2 dashes of orange bitters
  • orange peel for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass — freezer or ice-water rinse.
  2. In a mixing glass, combine bourbon, Atomic Black, and orange bitters. Add plenty of cold ice and stir for 20–25 seconds.
  3. Strain into the chilled glass. Express an orange peel over the top to mist the oils, then drop in or discard.
