CORPSE REVIVER NO. 2

It's not surprising that this 19th-century cocktail has, forgive me, been brought back from the dead to an enthusiastic response. It's easy to love and easy to drink: lemony, dry (but not too dry) and ever so subtly deepened by absinthe. But be careful, for, as "The Savoy Cocktail Book" famously warns: "Four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again."

CORPSE REVIVER NO. 1

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

Steps:

  • Don't overshake the cocktail: When you're shaking the Corpse Reviver No. 2, be careful not to overshake it. Over-shaking can dilute the cocktail and make it watery.
  • Garnish with a lemon twist: A lemon twist is the traditional garnish for the Corpse Reviver No. 2. It adds a touch of freshness and citrus flavor to the cocktail.
