Revolver cocktail recipe

Serious Mealtimes / Wes Rowe

Bourbon lovers don’t always have it easy when it comes to craft cocktails. While there are plenty of whiskey drinks in the classic cocktail pantheon most like the Manhattan and its many cousins are designed with the drier spicier flavor of rye whiskey in mind.

Compared to rye bourbon tends to have a softness and sweetness that makes many cocktails seem weak especially those mixed with the spicy flavors of vermouth. (Notable exceptions include the mint julep originally a brandy drink but now unthinkable without the soft sweetness of bourbon; and the Old Fashioned the whiskey version of which likely started out with rye but which when mixed with bourbon still produces a drink that's a resounding "yes.")
