Corpse Reviver #2

The Corpse Reviver #2 is easily a favorite gin cocktail of mine - and today I'll share with you this simple recipe! Dating back to the mid 1800's, the corpse revivers were a family of cocktails intended to revitalize the drinker. Many bartenders created their own corpse reviver recipes because there were no strict guidelines to how these drinks were built - over time, however, most of these "reviver" recipes were long forgotten. Thankfully, Harry Craddock preserved the Corpse Reviver #2 by including its recipe in The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930.
