A bright and complex British classic — this cocktail combines gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, lemon juice, and a whisper of absinthe for a sharp, aromatic balance.Light, citrusy, and famously reviving — perfect for when you need a little pick-me-up.

Story:

The Corpse Reviver #2 dates back to the early 20th century and was originally crafted as a “morning-after remedy” for those recovering from a heavy night out — hence its tongue-in-cheek name. Popularized in London’s Savoy Hotel Bar, it quickly evolved from hangover cure to elegant aperitif. Its lively blend of botanicals and citrus was designed to, as bartenders used to say, “revive the corpse.” Even today, it’s the drink of choice for those who like their cocktails sharp, sophisticated, and slightly mischievous.
