Treat yourself to something nice like Pernod. Don't buy a poor quality bottle to mix with, as they do not taste as good or mix as well as a reputable absinthe. However, you should do yourself a favor and invest in a good bottle. Absinthe is a unique liqueur that is not frequently used these days.Here are a few things to do to ensure your cocktail doesn't taste like something the "black cat" dragged in. This cocktail is not very difficult to make. There are several ingredients needed to give the Corpse Reviver #2 its unique flavor: From what I've read, it's close to the old recipe for Kina Lillet that was changed in the late 1960's. I use it in several other cocktails such as the James Bond-inspired Vesper and it never disappoints. So I've become a fan of Cocchi Americano for its light, herbal taste that still has a bite due to the quinine. Regarding the vermouth, I've always found Lillet Blanc to be overly sweet. I want my ingredients to mix nicely with one another and not have one overpower the rest. I fall firmly into the dry gin camp and prefer something less botanical. There are those who recommend an Old Tom gin. Some say to use a very 'juniper-y' gin, some say it is best made with a dry gin. There are many opinions on which type of gin to mix this cocktail with. Now that is some good advice! Ingredients You'll Need There was even a recommendation to not drink more than 4 of these at a time. In other words, to feel better from too much alcohol the night before, you need even more alcohol the next morning. Created in the mid-1800's in England, they were from the school of thinking, "hair of the dog that bit you". It's hard to believe, but these drinks were originally conceived to be hangover cures. I find that the absinthe gives it a sweet, candy-like flavor that makes it a wonderful cocktail that I'll add to my regular stable of drinks. However, this reviver is a great tasting cocktail regardless of time of year. Just the name alone makes the Corpse Revivers a good Halloween drink. This post's subject is named similarly, but is a gin-based reviver. That drink is a brandy-based reviver cocktail. Last week I wrote about the Corpse Reviver cocktail to start things off. Even our spooky spider likes the Corpse Reviver #2! The Corpse Reviver #2 was Supposed to Cure a Hangoverīecause it is fall, I have been writing posts with a Halloween theme. Even though it shares a name with another famous cocktail, the Corpse Reviver #2 is a very different drink and is not just a variation on the original.
