Corpse Reviver No.2 (Savoy Recipe)

🥃 Serve in: Coupe Glass

Gin, triple sec, Lillet Blanc, and lemon juice all share the glass in equal parts here, with a rinse of absinthe -- the definitive version of one of cocktail history's most famous hangover cures, as recorded in the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book. Harry Craddock's own warning still applies: "Four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again." Bright, herbal, and deceptively easy-drinking given its strength, it's become a modern classic after decades of obscurity.
