Corpse Reviver No. 2 - Cocktail

*This is a nice alternative for a brunch cocktail.

History:
The Corpse-Reviver family of drinks has unclear origins, but what we do know is they are mentioned in cocktail books as early as 1871 in The Gentleman’s Table Guide (an interesting read in its own right).

This version, the Corpse Reviver #2, was included in Harry Craddock’s famous Savoy Cocktail Book published in 1930. He wrote, “To be taken before 11 a.m., or whenever steam and energy are needed.”

The drinks pack a punch! Enjoy, but keep Craddock’s warning in mind, “Four of these taken in swift succession will quickly unrevive the corpse again.”
