Corpse Reviver No. 2

The Corpse Reviver No. 2 is one of the great classics of the cocktail canon, originally conceived as a morning restorative in the tradition of the hair of the dog. Equal parts gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, and fresh lemon juice are complemented with a finesse of Absinthe. Absinthia’s Absinthe Verte, with its crisp, smooth, and light-bodied hints of anise, polishes out the balance. The Corpse Reviver No. 2 is deceptively potent and is a testament to the elegance of a well-composed cocktail.
