Long a favorite here at North Shore Distillery, the Corpse Reviver No. 2 has an enduring popularity that befits the killer name and fantastic recipe. Over the years we’ve tried a number of riffs on this classic gin-based drink, but today we present the original, equal-parts recipe — deceptively simple, it yields a drink with deliciously complex & layered flavors.
Corpse Reviver No. 2
1 oz Gin No. 6
1 oz Cointreau (or North Shore Curaçao)
1 oz Lillet Blanc (or Cocchi Americano, which is reputedly closer to the original Kina Lillet used in the recipe)
1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Dash Sirène Absinthe Verte
Shake ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cocktail cherry in the bottom of the glass.
