Discover the Classic Corpse Reviver #2 Cocktail Recipe with Crimson Cocktail

Calling all cocktail enthusiasts! Crimson Cocktail, your go-to source for all things mixology, is here to guide you through the process of making the iconic Corpse Reviver #2.

First things first, to get a glimpse of this timeless recipe, head over to Crimson Cocktail's Instagram page. Don't forget to tag @crimsoncocktail and use the hashtag #crimsoncocktail to share your creations with the community.

Now, let's dive into the history of this invigorating cocktail. The Corpse Reviver #2 was first published in the Savoy Cocktail Book by Harry Craddock. However, before this publication, the cocktail was popularised by bartender Harry MacElhone at Harry's New York Bar in Paris.

To prepare the Corpse Reviver #2, you'll need the following ingredients:

30ml gin
30ml Lillet Blanc
30ml Cointreau
30ml lemon juice
1 egg white (optional)
Absinthe

Start by shaking the first four ingredients (gin, Lillet Blanc, Cointreau, and lemon juice) with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. If you prefer a frothy texture, add the egg white and shake again without ice.

Finally, to give your Corpse Reviver #2 an authentic touch, dash or spritz the drink's surface with absinthe.
