The Rev is Ravenspur’s gateway drink, and bar owner Taran James’ go-to recommendation for first-time visitors. A rye-led cocktail that leans into dark, rich and quiet indulgence, it’s stirred down and served over a single block of ice, balancing dry spice with cacao depth and a subtle hit of banana. Finished with chocolate bitters and a maraschino cherry, it best captures the mood of the venue itself: considered, not pretentious, and built to linger.
