Today we bust out the Corpse Reviver but, because the recipe list can be quite long and not everyone know which they want, we are doing Corpse Reviver #1 and Corpse Reviver #2. Which will you like better? The gin-based corpse reviver definitely wakes you up with some crazy citrus tartness and an every so muted fennel mingled within it.
The more original recipe, corpse reviver #1, fixes you a great classic based cocktail fitting well in a coupe glass and sitting on the porch watching the sunset. The smooth cognac is the center focus and, perhaps, wouldn’t “revive” your corpse in the morning like the lemon juice based #2 recipe. For the “wake up” based corpse reviver #2, we suggest a twisted martini glass.

Corpse Reviver #2 Recipe
