31 Mar 2022: Corpse Reviver

Cocktail night is coming a few days early for us this week due to a sleepover from our favorite toddler. Also, it’s Thursday and we’re pretty sick of the fickle New England weather. The Corpse Reviver #2 (yes there is a #1) seemed like a good idea and, indeed it was.

Corpse Reviver #2

Ingredients

• Absinthe, to rinse

• 3/4 ounce London dry gin

• 3/4 ounce Lillet blanc

• 3/4 ounce orange liqueur (I used Cointreau because, why not?)

• 3/4 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed

1. This is best served in a chilled coupe glass.

2. Rinse the inside of the chilled coupe or cocktail glass with absinthe, discard the excess and set the glass aside.

3. Add the gin, Lillet blanc, orange liqueur and lemon juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled.

4. Strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with a cherry if you’re in the mood for that.
