I'm about to make this with some of the Lyre's whiskey from last week. Sure, there's alcohol in the coffee liqueur, but the overall will be way reduced! =)
Man right on time the weather hear in Oklahoma has been cloudy, foggy, and misty the last few days. It always put me in a whiskey mood. Definitely had to try this one this weekend.
Anders, I really appreciate when you call out a brand (Tia Maria) when you have settled on it after much trial and error. Great value in your recommendations.
We've fallen in love with Mr. Black via Anders' Iced Irish Coffee recipe and recommendation for that bottle in that episode. Looks like it's time for another coffee liquer to find its place on the bar next to Mr. Black! The hunt for these bottles at local stores just adds to the fun of mixology as well.
Just want to echo what others are saying: I love it when you give a list of recommended labels, and explain what specifically, if anything, that label is bringing to this specific cocktail in place of other possibilities. "I'm using this Burbon, but I don't think it's too important which one. On the other hand, I'm using this cordial, and here is why"
Anders, I really love your channel. My late father was a bartender in Southampton, NY and later at The Breakers in Palm Beach, FL. This was back in the 1970s and 80’s. I never really thought much about making cocktails until Covid. Then, my husband and youngest child, a daughter who was 20 at the time, got into watching different shows and drinking cocktails based on the period of time of the television show. I really got into your channel. Thanks for connecting me to cocktails and in a weird weird way connecting me to my late dad. I wish you all the success in the world.
Thanks for explaining why you prefer a particular coffee liquor. Sometimes, people recommend particular brands, but don’t explain why - so it leaves you guessing based on your own preferences. Much appreciated! Looks like a tasty drink!
You've just spiced up date night! I haven't been to Bourbon and Branch in years and my other half has never been despite living in San Francisco for nearly 15 years. Thanks to this video, I'm taking him for his inaugural visit tonight. Thanks, Anders!
Fantastic drink! Although I would say it's more of a riff of an Old Fashioned than a Manhattan as you mentioned (no fortified wine but the Coffee liqueur acts as a sweetener for an Old Fashioned) - I love this drink on a big rock (courtesy of Vino)! Cheers Anders & Az, another modern classic video! 🍹
Was thinking this as well - reminds me of a Godfather, down to the flamed orange zest. Also got me thinking that a Godfather would be improved massively by the ratios of a Revolver
I have also tried the mr black vs kahula vs tia maria and agree that the tia maria wins for this drink. This is also my favourite cocktail to smoke. It even feels thematic with the name - a smoking revolver
I love Old Grand-Dad! This is the first time I've seen anyone use it in a video, I was happy to see it. 'Cause that's what I've got. xD I'll be making this with that and my homemade coffee liqueur--I made it with dark rum and cold-brewed Trader Joe's beans and it's dope.
If you haven’t read Tom Bulleit’s autobiography “Bulleit Proof” then you’re really doing yourself a disservice. Fascinating read into the building of that brand and the huge role the Revolver played in helping take his bourbon mainstream.
I make this regularly for myself at home and make little variations all the time. My most recent one I did was with Mr Black and a little simple syrup and a little Ancho Reyes Chili Liquor to make up for the lack of sweetness in the Mr Black I also used New Riff Rye in that instead of a Bourbon. It was really tasty.
I finally made this one tonight, exactly as shown. Man, yet another cocktail I learned about from Anders that I will for sure make again many more times!
Made this just now with Makers Mark and the Canadian-made coffee liqueur described on the label thusly: "1836 Spring Mill Distillery, a John Sleeman & Sons Company, Ward Series, No. 02 Coffee Liqueur" a hand-numbered bottle 626/1500, Batch 3, that I have had for several years without much inspiration to use it. Being a wheat-y bourbon the coffee flavour is really up front and lovely. Plenty sweet enough and this will definitely be going in my favourites notebook. Merci beaucoup, Anders!
I didn't have any orange bitters, but we had some chocolate bitters. So, we swapped Triple Sec for the Tia Maria and used the chocolate bitters. We were pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
Hey! I made this tonight for my wife and myself. I used Bulleit Bourbon and Kahlua with Angostura Orange Bitters. It was very nice. Well rounded and we both enjoyed it a lot. I've never heard of it before. This may go into our weekend rotation. Thanks so much for sharing this enjoyable cocktail, Anders!
I love this cocktail. Totally agree with your point on how it needs to be adjusted when working with drier coffee liqueurs. With my own (Algebra Extra Dry), I like to simply add a touch (5ml) of cane syrup, maraschino cherry jar syrup or (sweet) Pedro Ximenez sherry to the mix to round things out. It yields a darker, deeper Revolver with a more intense coffee character, but still balanced and delicious. Love the channel, keep it going!
I didn't actually know this was a cocktail, but what my dad and I have been doing is something similar for awhile using a 1:1 Mr. Black and Rye. Then we drip in a few in a few drops of orange oil using a pipette (the pure concentrated orange oil is so strong that 3-5 is all you need depending on how orangey you want it) and serve it on the rocks. If we want to get extra decadent then we add some heavy cream on top and that really pushes it to new levels of goodness.
I’ve never had this drink before, but I like it. (Not a far stretch as I love bourbon based drinks). And, I had all the ingredients! I used Four Roses Small Batch, Kahlúa, and Fee Brothers Orange bitters. I have Mr. Black, but thought I would use the Kahlúa that I had. The beard is cool. Keep it like you have it.
This is great. I just found a new coffee liquor, Cantera Negra, a tequila base coffee liquor and just tried it in the Revolver…. Had some nice sweetness - 40 proof. Thanks for all you do - we love watching every week!!! Doug.
I made three versions of this cocktail over the weekend. I used Basil Hayden bourbon in all three. I tried Caffe Lolita, Café Del Mar, and Journeyman Distillery's Snaggle Tooth Coffee Liqueur for the coffee liqueur. The Snaggle Tooth was by far the most interesting. Great cocktail!
Okay, at first it just tasted like a very sweet Old Fashioned without the Angoatura bitters. Then after a few seconds I started to get the coffee notes. I let it sit for a little bit like one would an Old Fashioned and it just got better. So much better. I had to add a couple extra dashes of the orange bitters to notice the flavor, but it is so good. Thank you for sharing this recipe Anders, it’s quickly becoming a favorite.
Made it and I like it. Simple to make and used your suggestion on Tia Maria and the same orange bitters you suggested. Used Four Roses Select bourbon. Slacked on the orange this time but definitely won’t next time. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve made this with the same specs with Mr Black and Buffalo Trace many times. Sometimes I’ll switch up the bitters to be a dash of orange and a dash of mole or chocolate bitters. Or just chocolate bitters.
Made this tonight after coming home from a play we got free tix to. I altered it based on what we had. Used Four Roses Bourbon, Loon Liquor coffee liqueur (local in Minnesota), and Dashfire Orange Bitters. It was very tasty! I look forward to trying it with the liquors you referenced next! Thank you! We love watching your videos!
Delightful, I don't know how I've been in SF this long and not tried this earlier. I didn't have coffee liqueur in my cabinet when I watched this, so this also inspired me to try substituting with Heering and an absinthe wash - may need a little workshopping but pretty good!
Hey, thanks for the recipe, Im new to the Mixology thing and its an AT HOME schooling. I made this using Kalua and Kentucky Bourbin (thats what we had on hand) and my hubs loved it. I even did the garnish!
Beard-Yes! Oz samplin’-Yes! Outtakes-Yes, Yes, Yes!! Thx for the tips on this excellent & simple cocktail. Camerawork capturing the garnish flame was mighty nifty. Cheers, all!🥃🍊🔥
I like mine with a good 100 proof rye (Rittenhouse) and Frangelico. I use the traditional Manhattan ratio of 2oz. Rye, 1oz. Frangelico, and 2 dashes of orange bitters. Frangelico tends to be more on the dry side, so I add two bar spoons of simple syrup and serve it up. Such a tasty cocktail! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Made this exact cocktail last week but used Mr Black, and added 2 bar spoons of maple syrup, because it was a little too coffee-ey lol. What a coincidence, can’t wait to try this way
Thanks Anders, love your content and style. I discovered the Revolver within the last year, and make one at least a couple of times per week. My recipe: 2 dashes Fee Bros orange bitters, 1/2 oz Mr Black, 2 oz bourbon (OGD 114, Early Times BIB, etc.), and ~1/8 oz simple syrup, garnish with a flamed orange peel coin. Perfection! Although now I need to buy a bottle of Tia Maria 😊. Keep up the good work!
This is an absolute BANGER! One of my go-to night caps. Fun to play with different coffee liqueurs, different bitters and with big ol' cube. Okay, now I need to go make one. Cheers Anders! 🥃
Thank you so much for all your work! I have learned so much and am inspired to try new things thanks to your channel. With this one, completely agree that Tia Maria is the best and I am experimenting with ratios - the coffee is a different flavor to pair with bourbon and is delicious but takes a little getting used to if you are in the "old fashioned" arena. I love coffee and this is a delicious drink. So much to learn and so much fun - thank you!!!
I would like to see you use Borghetti as a coffee liqueur sometimes! I find it a good balance on sweetness and coffee "power". I shall try Tia Maria if I ever have the chance!
I agree with you on the coffee liqueur comments. I hadn’t watched this video yet, but I made a few of these a week ago, and I first used Mr. Black and wasn’t a fan. But it was much better with Trader Vic’s. Though what I then did after was follow the Curiada recipe that came with the Mr. Black for the “Cold Fashioned” that ups the Mr. Black to 2oz and it was much more balanced that way. I don’t recall what I liked better between the two (darn, I guess I’ll have to make them again).
Just tried this, substituting the coffee liqueur with Belgian beer liqueur. It was quite lovely. I call it a Belgian revolver. My naming creativity knows no end.
oh hey! i've been making a version of this with Mr Black and Buffalo Trace at home for like the past 3 years! nice to find that it has an actual name :)
Huh I do love a good old fashioned and love coffee. I need to try this one. I only have some local distillery coffee liqueur which is not sweet. But I’ll try it just that. But maybe a bar spoon of simple syrup could be the trick
Hi Anders, so happy you show us the Revolver. First because I like it ( I make mine with Kalhua but want to buy Tia Maria since few weeks, so I definitely try) and second because I ask you several months ago to show us this cocktail. You are a great RUclipsr, listening their subscribers 😘 Long live to your channel ❤ Cheers 🍸
Trying this now! But hey, doesn’t this seem more like a riff on an old fashioned? Bourbon, no vermouth, a small ratio of sweetening, and bitters, and it can be served on the rocks? 🤔 Please tell me if I’m off-base!
Wild Turkey 101 Mr. Black with a silverware teaspoon of simple syrup and a go orange bitters. . Not sure this is the best version but it’s what I got on hand and it ain’t horrible.
The beard rocks; great recipe! I used Jack Daniels Bonded, and Mr. Black's; to soften the Mr. Blacks, I added a barspoon of semi-rich simple syrup. Cheers!
About why you prefer a sweet coffee liquor, I have a strong one (colombian coffee liquor), so I used a honey flavoured whiskey and it tasted good. Cool video

Last week’s whiskey alternatives were fun, but I’m happy to be back to the real stuff. Cheers, everyone!
I'm about to make this with some of the Lyre's whiskey from last week. Sure, there's alcohol in the coffee liqueur, but the overall will be way reduced! =)
Man right on time the weather hear in Oklahoma has been cloudy, foggy, and misty the last few days. It always put me in a whiskey mood. Definitely had to try this one this weekend.
Nice one - I'll be trying this one soon. Also ... looks like you're within striking distance of 500k subs 🙌🙌🙌
Anders, I really appreciate when you call out a brand (Tia Maria) when you have settled on it after much trial and error. Great value in your recommendations.

Totally agree. Anders recommendations are the best! It really sets him apart from many other channels.
You say that but then Anders recommended Mister Black in a recent video. I suppose the Tia Maria works better here - not as dark roasted
I’m looking forward to making this cocktail, I love Tia Maria 👍

Although I would say it's more of a riff of an Old Fashioned than a Manhattan as you mentioned (no fortified wine but the Coffee liqueur acts as a sweetener for an Old Fashioned) - I love this drink on a big rock (courtesy of Vino)! Cheers Anders & Az, another modern classic video! 🍹
I'm with you on that. Good call with the big rock too - Vino gets it. Cheers!
Or maybe a Rusty Nail. Somewhere in between.
Was thinking this as well - reminds me of a Godfather, down to the flamed orange zest. Also got me thinking that a Godfather would be improved massively by the ratios of a Revolver
@@AlexWilliams-yy5zk I like a fourth oz of amerato to the liquor
I have also tried the mr black vs kahula vs tia maria and agree that the tia maria wins for this drink. This is also my favourite cocktail to smoke. It even feels thematic with the name - a smoking revolver
I love to see the bloopers. They bring a smile. 😂 Thank you for the content you create. Huge fan here!
I always love seeing the flaming orange oil, such a neat trick.

“Give this one a shot”. Perfect expression for a Revolver 🤣
Thanks for the great vids.
@@AndersErickson I hope you enjoy it. If you do make one and come up with anything that you think is an improvement on it let me know :-)
My favorite Ancho Reyes use is Mezcal Campari and Ancho Reyes like a spicy smoky Negroni
@@tombremer2096 Red or green? What proportions do you use? I happen to have all those bottles, and that sounds pretty tasty.
My husband and I had this exact build for the Revolver this afternoon and it was awesome! It is one of my favorites!!!
A variation on this that I love is making an Amaretto revolver. Split the coffee liqueur with the amaretto. So so good.
The Amaretto sounds good, another option is using orgeat syrup instead of Amaretto.
I finally made this one tonight, exactly as shown. Man, yet another cocktail I learned about from Anders that I will for sure make again many more times!

I did try it and I did like it. I used Kahlua, because it is what I had.
I made this for my brother, a bourbon drinker, a couple of years ago and he loved it.
Thank you!! Found the Tia Maria and made it with Angastora orange bitters. Yum. So good!!! ❤

Oooohhh, going to try the heavy cream idea now
That sounds pretty amazing. I love Mr. Black.
I would try that!

I used Four Roses Small Batch, Kahlúa, and Fee Brothers Orange bitters. I have Mr. Black, but thought I would use the Kahlúa that I had. The beard is cool. Keep it like you have it.
having some guests over tomorrow and ive pre ordered bottles to be delivered to give this cocktail a try im excited to try this cocktail out
Tried this tonight, really really nice drink to sit with
I used Tia Maria and it was delicious!! A new cocktail to add to my arsenal. Thank you!
Great cocktail, thanks Anders & Az. Flaming orange oil always looks impressive (probably the child in me)! Definitely yes to the beard!
My favorite. I’ve used many different bourbons. As for coffee liqueur, Borghetti cafe is my favorite to use. NOLA is a little dryer but still works.
When I made this drink, I used Kikisi Mexican Coffee Liqueur. It has a good vanilla and sugar flavor to it which balances out the coffee flavor.
This is great. I just found a new coffee liquor, Cantera Negra, a tequila base coffee liquor and just tried it in the Revolver…. Had some nice sweetness - 40 proof. Thanks for all you do - we love watching every week!!! Doug.
I used Cazadores Cafe and it’s good! I may do 3/4oz instead of half oz though for a bit more coffee flavor.
I made three versions of this cocktail over the weekend. I used Basil Hayden bourbon in all three. I tried Caffe Lolita, Café Del Mar, and Journeyman Distillery's Snaggle Tooth Coffee Liqueur for the coffee liqueur. The Snaggle Tooth was by far the most interesting. Great cocktail!
Love this drink 🙂 I typically use Kōloa Kauaʻi Coffee Rum as my coffee liqueur 🙂Will have to try it with the Tia Maria 🙂

I started making my revolver with a little Benedictine too, and that made it much better for me
I cannot believe you made this! One of my favorite cocktails
Made it and I like it. Simple to make and used your suggestion on Tia Maria and the same orange bitters you suggested. Used Four Roses Select bourbon. Slacked on the orange this time but definitely won’t next time. Thanks for sharing.
Great cocktail! I used Mr Black though.. I do prefer the dryness of it though.. keep it coming Anders. Always enjoy your content!
I used Old Grandad bonded and Tempus Fugit Creme de Moka. Delicious! Just enough sweetness, and some chocolate notes. Thank you for the specs! 😊
Excellent…will try it with other coffee liquer
Anders, this was excellent!!! I did use Mr Black because that’s what I had on hand, but added just a touch of simple and it was amazing! Cheers! 🥃
I’ve made this with the same specs with Mr Black and Buffalo Trace many times. Sometimes I’ll switch up the bitters to be a dash of orange and a dash of mole or chocolate bitters. Or just chocolate bitters.
Made one of these for my wife tonight! She loved it. Love the channel, Anders.
I'll be making this with "Grind" Love your stuff.
Made this tonight after coming home from a play we got free tix to. I altered it based on what we had.

My wife says she is pro beard, btw.
Thanks for sharing! Cool trick with the orange peel
Just picked up the Tia Maria, can’t wait for the weekend to make this drink.
I've made this a couple times with Mr. Black. Adding a quarter ounce rich simple syrup balances it nicely.
Delightful, I don't know how I've been in SF this long and not tried this earlier. I didn't have coffee liqueur in my cabinet when I watched this, so this also inspired me to try substituting with Heering and an absinthe wash - may need a little workshopping but pretty good!

Coffee and burbon go great together ... but I'm usually starting with a white russian and swapping the vodka out.
😉👍
You always make me want to make your cocktails. That Revolver looks yummy.
I used Kahlua and Makers (that’s what I had). Very nice! A sugar rimmed glass would make it a nice dessert drink.
Made this exact cocktail last week but used Mr Black, and added 2 bar spoons of maple syrup, because it was a little too coffee-ey lol. What a coincidence, can’t wait to try this way
I use Borghetti espresso liqueur from Italy good balance of sweetness and coffee.
Thanks Anders, love your content and style. I discovered the Revolver within the last year, and make one at least a couple of times per week.

Had some homemade coffee liquor from Christmas that I used in this.
It was a fun little episode and this drink would be right up my alley

I would like to see you use Borghetti as a coffee liqueur sometimes! I find it a good balance on sweetness and coffee "power". I shall try Tia Maria if I ever have the chance!

I don’t recall what I liked better between the two (darn, I guess I’ll have to make them again).
This looks delicious! And the Tia Maria gives me warm fuzzzy memories of Jamaca!
Just tried this, substituting the coffee liqueur with Belgian beer liqueur. It was quite lovely. I call it a Belgian revolver. My naming creativity knows no end.
Fabrique Nationale
One of my favorites!!! Tia Maria for sure.
oh hey! i've been making a version of this with Mr Black and Buffalo Trace at home for like the past 3 years! nice to find that it has an actual name :)
Awesome to see this video! I also had this at Bourbon and Branch back in 2009, and loved the cocktail along with the experience.
This looks like a fun one to try! I feel like tempest fugit moka would be fun to try out in this
i love this one (well, I love them all, but this one is 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 good)
Sounds good. When I go camping sometimes I put bourbon in my coffee, so I'd probably really like this.
Huh I do love a good old fashioned and love coffee. I need to try this one. I only have some local distillery coffee liqueur which is not sweet. But I’ll try it just that. But maybe a bar spoon of simple syrup could be the trick
Gonna have to try this one! Thanks Anders!! Love the out takes! lol
Hmmm.. interesting, think I’ll use Mr black and use some vanilla simple syrup I made
Hi Anders, so happy you show us the Revolver. First because I like it ( I make mine with Kalhua but want to buy Tia Maria since few weeks, so I definitely try) and second because I ask you several months ago to show us this cocktail. You are a great RUclipsr, listening their subscribers 😘

Wild Turkey 101 Mr. Black with a silverware teaspoon of simple syrup and a go orange bitters. . Not sure this is the best version but it’s what I got on hand and it ain’t horrible.
Made it with Woodford Reserve and Kahlua…wow! Thank you!!
I make a version of this with Smoked Cinnamon bitters! So good
Great episode on the cocktail. Thanks for all of the info.
TO THE BAR! ➡️🥃
I used Mr Black with a barstool of vanilla paste!
Yay on the beard, keep it going. This drink sounds great. Can’t wait to make it.
The beard rocks; great recipe! I used Jack Daniels Bonded, and Mr. Black's; to soften the Mr. Blacks, I added a barspoon of semi-rich simple syrup. Cheers!
About why you prefer a sweet coffee liquor, I have a strong one (colombian coffee liquor), so I used a honey flavoured whiskey and it tasted good.
Cool video
Always good times.
Love a Revolver. Though I've also had a riff I'm partial too that uses a drier coffee liqueur and IIRC a quarter ounce of sweet vermouth.
Greetings from Poland. Love your content. Keep up the great work 👍
My spin on it
Woodford Bourbon
Mr Black
1/4 oz maple syrup
Chocolate Bitters
Love the bloopers and cool beans for the beard.
