After Dinner Happy Hour: The Corpse Reviver #2
- 1 oz gin
- 1 oz Cointreau (I did half and half with triple sec and orange curacao)
- 1 oz Lillet Blanc
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 2-3 drops of absinthe
Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a stemless cherry.
With a name like the Corpse Reviver, I expected this cocktail to really hit me over the head. But the flavor is subtle and very smooth. Orange comes to the forefront, propped up by a refreshing herbal gin and a hint of the absinthe. This is a perfect summer drink!
Since the Corpse Reviver is so refreshing and quaff-able, I am a little afraid that the power hinted at in the name lies instead in this drink’s ability to get you drunk fast. Will have to take my time with this one.
Good night!
