From the Bartender

The Revolver was created by Jon Santer in San Francisco in the early 2000s and is widely credited as one of the cocktails that helped legitimise coffee liqueur as a serious cocktail ingredient. The flamed orange zest is essential - not just decorative - as its expressed oils dramatically lift the aroma on the nose.
