The Corpse Reviver No. 2 comes from the Savoy Cocktail Book and was originally intended as a morning pick me up. It combines gin, Cointreau, Lillet, lemon, and a touch of absinthe.

It is bright, aromatic, and slightly mysterious, with layers of flavour that reveal themselves over time. Despite its name, it is more refreshing than heavy. It is a drink that feels both historic and lively.

I always smile at the name, but it is the flavour that keeps me coming back. It is one of those cocktails that feels surprisingly modern for something so old.

Susan

The Corpse Reviver No. 2 is a classic cocktail made with equal parts gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, and a splash of absinthe. This revitalizing libation, dating back to the Prohibition era, is known for its complex flavors, balancing citrus, herbal notes, and a touch of anise from the absinthe, creating a timeless and intriguing drink.
