Corpse Reviver No. 2

Corpse Reviver No. 2 cocktail

A legendary pre-Prohibition classic from the Savoy Cocktail Book, widely considered the ultimate 'hair of the dog' remedy. This refreshing sour balances equal parts of gin, lemon, orange liqueur, and Lillet Blanc, all elevated by a subtle, aromatic absinthe rinse intended to 'revive the corpse' of the drinker.

Ingredients

How to Make It

  1. Chill the glassware thoroughly.
  2. Rinse the inside of the chilled glass with a dash of absinthe to coat the sides, then discard any excess liquid.
  3. Combine the gin, Triple Sec, Lillet Blanc, and fresh lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  4. Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds until the tin is frosted and the contents are well-chilled.
  5. Double strain the mixture into the prepared, absinthe-rinsed glass.
