Instrucciones
Shake, strain, straight up, cocktail glass rinsed with absinthe
Corpse Reviver (Nº 2) es un cóctel de gin que combina partes iguales de gin, triple sec, Lillet Blanc y zumo fresco de limón, con un toque de absenta utilizado para enjuagar el vaso, creando una bebida vivamente cítrica y aromática con complejidad herbal. Con un 20,59% ABV, es uno de los grandes cócteles de partes iguales y es famoso por sus supuestas propiedades curativas de resaca. El enjuague de absenta añade un susurro de anís y ajenjo que une los otros sabores.
History & Origins
Corpse Reviver No. 2 appears in Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book, where it was part of a series of 'Corpse Reviver' cocktails designed as morning-after hangover cures. Craddock famously wrote that four of them taken in swift succession would 'un-revive the corpse again.' The IBA has recognized various versions of this cocktail, and it remains a cornerstone of the modern cocktail revival.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Bright lemon and gin botanicals lead, with Lillet Blanc's orange-wine sweetness, the orange of triple sec, and a haunting absinthe anise note from the glass rinse. Palate: Crisp and citrus-forward; equal parts of gin, triple sec, Lillet, and lemon create a perfectly balanced sour with herbal depth; the absinthe rinse adds an ethereal anise complexity. Finish: Dry and medium-long, with a lingering citrus-botanical character.
Pro Tip
Rinse the chilled cocktail glass with absinthe by swirling a small amount and discarding it before adding the strained drink — this technique is essential to the recipe's character.
