Corpse Reviver #2
Zombie Revival No. 2
Several 'Revival' recipes have been passed down, but this one is considered the best-tasting by most. It was first published in the famous 'Savoy Cocktail Book' by Harry Craddock in 1930. Interestingly, all 'Revival' drinks were originally designed as 'hangover cures' for the next morning!
- Flavor
- Zombie Revival No. 2 is a complex ballet of botanicals and citrus, blending the sweet orange notes of Cointreau with the zesty freshness of lemon juice, both perfectly balanced by the robust undertones of Lillet Blanc and gin. The light rinse of absinthe in the glass adds a subtle, mysterious edge to this vibrant and refreshing mixture, making it a delightful choice to clear the mind after a heavy night.
