Revolver Cocktails

Revolver Cocktails are a modern twist on classic whiskey drinks, known for their distinctive combination of bourbon, coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa or Tia Maria), and orange bitters. It’s a bold yet balanced sipper—rich with warm coffee notes and a hint of citrus on the finish. Traditionally served up in a coupe or Nick & Nora glass, it often features a flamed orange peel for dramatic aroma and flair. Perfect as a digestif, date-night drink, or something a little different for whiskey lovers.
