Rev was introduced in April, 2000, as a beverage marketed towards rave and nightclub culture.[1]
Rev when combined with Jägermeister makes a drink called a "Rev-Bomb", a variation of a Jägerbomb.[citation needed] This drink is a "depth charge" or "bomb shot", which refers to cocktails that are made by dropping a shot glass filled with liquor into another drink.
