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.

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

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cocktail turned out way too strong. I think I used too much gin.

This cocktail is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less Cointreau next time.

This cocktail is the perfect way to end a long day. It's refreshing, flavorful, and just a little bit boozy. I highly recommend it.

I love the history behind this cocktail. It's said to have been created in the early 1900s by a bartender at the Savoy Hotel in London. It's always fun to try cocktails that have a story behind them.

This cocktail is a great way to use up leftover gin. I had a bottle of gin that I wasn't sure what to do with, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm glad I did! The cocktail was delicious and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.

I'm not a big fan of gin, but I really liked this cocktail. The Lillet Blanc and Cointreau really helped to mask the gin flavor. I would definitely make this cocktail again.

This cocktail is a bit strong for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be perfect for someone who likes a stiff drink. The gin and Cointreau really pack a punch, but the Lillet Blanc and lemon juice help to smooth it out a bit.

I love the slightly bitter taste of the Lillet Blanc in this cocktail. It gives it a unique and sophisticated flavor that I really enjoy. The Cointreau and lemon juice add just the right amount of sweetness and tartness to balance out the bitterness.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this cocktail was to make. I'm not an experienced mixologist, but I was able to follow the instructions and create a drink that looked and tasted just like the one in the picture. It's a great cocktail for a par

This cocktail is a delightful blend of flavors and a true testament to the art of mixology. The combination of gin, Lillet Blanc, Cointreau, and lemon juice creates a harmonious balance that is both refreshing and invigorating. I highly recommend it
