<\/figure>\nIngredients in a Corpse Reviver<\/h2>\n\n- Absinthe<\/strong> – This drink starts off with a rinse of absinthe in the glass. <\/li>\n
- Gin<\/strong> – Specifically London Dry Gin. <\/li>\n
- Lillet Blanc<\/strong> – A French aperitif made with fortified wine. The original recipe was made with Kina Lillet. Lillet Blanc is actually a new formulation of the original Kina Lillet with less alcohol, less sugar, and less bitter quinine.<\/li>\n
- Orange Liqueur<\/strong> – Such as triple sec or cointreau. <\/li>\n
- Lemon Juice<\/strong> – Freshly squeezed citrus balances this recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The best glassware to serve a Corpse Reviver in is a Nick and Nora cocktail glass<\/a> or a coupe glass<\/a>. We recommend chilling your glasses before making this recipe. Simple keep some in the freezer to pull out when you want a chilled cocktail. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Corpse-Reviver-ingredients.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nHow to Make a Corpse Reviver<\/h2>\n
Rinse the inside of a chilled cocktail glass with absinthe. Swirl it around the inside of the glass until the surface is lightly coated. Discard the excess absinthe. <\/p>\n
In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine gin, Lillet Blanc, orange liqueur and lemon juice. Shake for 10-15 seconds until well chilled. <\/p>\n
Strain and pour into your prepared cocktail glass. <\/p>\n
Garnish with a lemon twist or a luxardo cherry.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Corpse-Reviver-how-to-make.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nHistory<\/h2>\n
This recipe can be traced back to the 1870s. This recipe is Corpse Reviver No. 2. It’s the best known version to this day. Corpse Reviver No. 1 was made with cognac, Calvados and sweet vermouth.<\/p>\n
The Corpse Reviver No. 2 lost some popularity but was revived (see what I did there?). In Harry Craddock’s 1930 book, “The Savoy Cocktail Book.” This book reintroduced dozens of classic drinks to cocktail enthusiasts of the 1930s.<\/p>\n
When you order a Corpse Reviver, remember that it is stronger than it tastes. Harry Craddock famously said, \u201cFour of these taken in swift succession will un-revive the corpse again.\u201d Always drink responsibly.<\/p>\n
What is Absinthe? <\/h2>\n
I always feel like a badass pulling out my bottle of absinthe. It’s been immortalized in famous paintings by Picasso and Degas as well as one of my favorite films of all time: Moulin Rouge <\/em>(2001). Absinthe was illegal in the United States for almost 100 years. It had a reputation as a hallucinogenic substance (this is pure myth and scientifically disproven).<\/p>\n
