The Corpse Reviver No. 2 is a pre-Prohibition era cocktail that was used for reviving a corpse, so basically it was a drink to cure a hangover. While the absinthe, gin, Lillet blanc, and orange liqueur cocktail disappeared for decades, its resurrection was driven by Harry Craddock's The Savory…
Rinse a chilled coupe with a small splash of absinthe and discard the excess. Combine ¾ oz each of dry gin, Cointreau, Lillet blanc and fresh lemon juice in a shaker with ice. Shake hard for 15 seconds, double-strain into the prepared glass, and garnish with an orange twist.
