Revolver

Revolver

Jon Santer from San Francisco, California came up with this sometime around 2003.  While the combination does not sound likely, it is a winner.  The spice and sweetness of the rye along with the coffee liqueur play together well, although in this recipe I cut back the coffee and added an extra dash of orange bitters.  While it is not my favorite, it is something I would definitely try again.

REVOLVER COCKTAIL

• 2-3 dashes Fee’s Orange bitters
