The Corpse Reviver #2 is a legendary classic cocktail, famed for its elegance and brilliant balance. Created as a hangover cure in the early 20th century, this cocktail is a citrusy, aromatic, and slightly herbal refresher that’s perfect for a warm California evening. Gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, and fresh lemon juice come together for a tart, floral, and subtly complex drink, while a wash of absinthe adds a mysterious herbal note that makes every sip intriguing. The lemon twist garnish brightens the nose and makes this cocktail as visually stunning as it is revitalizing.
