Description:
Corpse Reviver No. 2 is the best-known member of the Corpse Reviver family, cocktails historically presented as bracing morning drinks. The recipe became famous through Harry Craddock's Savoy Cocktail Book. Despite the playful name, it is a delicate sweet-tart cocktail with citrus, wine, and a light anise profile. Absinthe should remain an aromatic accent rather than the main flavor.
