The Corpse Revivers are a family of pre-prohibition drinks that were named for their hangover-curing properties. Many of the variants have struggled to adapt to the modern palate, but it is the No.2 version that has stood the test of time and become a popular and delicious gin classic. As Harry Craddock said in the infamous 1930s Savoy Cocktail Book (the most famous cocktail book of all time) - “Four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again.” - drink responsibly.

Bartender’s Top Tips Remember to chill your glass in the freezer for 5 minutes before you fill it, to keep your drink colder and fresher for longer. Fine straining through a mesh strainer (like a tea strainer), removes all the small ice chips to create a silky smooth texture. |
