This cocktail gets less love than its more popular sibling, the Corpse Reviver No. 2, but that shouldn't be the case: the No. 1 is exceptionally elegant. The warmth of the brandy and the apple flavor of the Calvados combine to make it a natural for autumn drinking, but I wouldn't turn it down any other time of year.

3/4 oz. Calvados
3/4 oz. sweet Italian vermouth

CORPSE REVIVER NO. 28



Corpse Reviver No. 28 image

The bartender Mimi Burnham's take on the Corpse Reviver makes use of some uncommon ingredients that are worth seeking out: a barrel-aged Genever (a particularly rich and flavorful Dutch gin) and Grand Liqueur de Sapins (a sweet, seductive liqueur made with pine buds). When she has time, Burnham cuts orange peel into the shapes of tiny men and sets them to float, or drown, in the drink; I wholeheartedly endorse this garnish.

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 oz. Boomsma Oude Fine Old Genever
3/4 oz. Cointreau
3/4 oz. Lillet Blanc
1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz. fresh lime juice
Scant teaspoon of Grande Liqueur de Sapins
Orange twist

Steps:

  • Chill a coupe glass, and evenly coat inside with liqueur de sapin. Shake remaining ingredients with ice. Strain into coupe. Express the orange twist over the cocktail and drop it in.

CORPSE REVIVER #2



Corpse Reviver #2 image

The Corpse Reviver #2 is one of a small family of drinks originally concocted as hangover remedies, of which Harry Craddock, cataloging them in the "Savoy Cocktail Book" in 1930, wrote, "To be taken before 11 a.m., or whenever steam and energy are needed." (He also famously cautioned: "Four of these taken in swift succession will quickly unrevive the corpse again.") You can occasionally find it on cocktail lists. But there's no point in waiting on chance: learn to make this.

Categories     brunch

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 ounce gin
3/4 ounce lemon juice
3/4 ounce Cointreau
3/4 ounce Cocchi Aperitivo Americano
Scant bar-spoon-ful quality absinthe (see note).

Steps:

  • Combine ingredients over ice, shake vigorously and strain into cocktail coupe or pony glass. A garnish is unnecessary, but different recipes call for either a twist of lemon or a real maraschino cherry.

Tips:

  • Choose quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a tastier Corpse Reviver.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice provides a bright, acidic flavor that is essential to the Corpse Reviver.
  • Don't over-shake the cocktail: Over-shaking can dilute the cocktail and make it watery. Shake just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Serve immediately: The Corpse Reviver is best served immediately, while it is still cold and refreshing.
  • Garnish with a lemon twist: A lemon twist adds a finishing touch to the Corpse Reviver and helps to release its citrus aromas.

Conclusion:

The Corpse Reviver is a classic cocktail that is enjoyed by many. It is a refreshing, flavorful, and boozy drink that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, the Corpse Reviver is a great cocktail for both experienced and novice bartenders alike. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the Corpse Reviver a try. You won't be disappointed.
