Absinthia Bottled Spirits

Bourbon Reviver No. 2

The Reviver No.2 has been a storied cocktail since its origins in the 1930s. The Bourbon Reviver No. 2, also known as the Kentucky Reviver, makes a compelling case for bourbon's place in this classic cocktail. Warm and approachable, it balances the depth of bourbon against the brightness of fresh lemon, the floral elegance of Lillet Blanc, and the subtle citrus sweetness of triple sec. An Absinthe-rinsed glass provides the finishing touch, adding a whisper of herbal complexity that uplifts the entire composition.
