Not to be confused with the first version of this drink – ‘to be taken before 11 AM’ – the Corpse Reviver No. 2 made its appearance in the Savoy Cocktail Book in the 1930s. This is Harry Craddock’s original recipe.

Ingredients

  • ¾ oz Sidewinder Dry Gin
  • ¾ oz Cointreau
  • ¾ oz Lillet Blanc
  • ¾ oz Lemon
  • 2 dashes of absinthe

Directions

Mix all ingredients save the absinthe in a tin. Add ice and shake vigorously. Double strain into a martini glass and float a dash of absinthe on top.
