July 11-Corpse Reviver No 2

Today we have another classic cocktail, this time one that works in an equal parts format. That’s probably the reason it was one of the first I learnt on my own. This one is a simple 4 ingredient number that works as an equal part drink similar to a negroni or Last Word. The name of this drink was pretty funny when I looked it up. There are 2 Corpse Reviver cocktails. The Corpse Reviver No 1 was meant to be ordered in the AM as a cure for a hangover while this one put youu back asleep in the PM. This version became much more popular mainly for its classic citrusy taste that more and more people are starting to appreciate. I am here for that trust me.

This cocktail features Gin, Lemon, Cointreau and aromatized wine like Lillet Blanc or Cocchi Americano. all these together give it an almost alcoholic cnady taste similar to a Lemon Drop but different since the wine in it adds a sophisticated taste almost. This drink also features an optional absinthe rinse which I always recommend as it adds to the bold flavour profile of the drink and the botanicals of the gin.
