Corpse Reviver No. 2
A brightly refreshing and citrusy classic cocktail made with gin, Lillet Blanc, orange liqueur, and fresh lemon juice.
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 3/4 ounce gin
- 3/4 ounce Lillet Blanc or Cocchi Americano
- 3/4 ounce Cointreau or triple sec
- 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
- Dash or barspoon Absinthe optional
Instructions
- Add a splash of absinthe to a chilled coupe glass. Twirl to coat the inside of the glass and discard the excess.
- Combine gin, Lillet, Cointreau, and lemon juice in a shaker with ice.
- Shake and double strain into a chilled coupe glass.
- Express the lemon over the drink and garnish.
Notes
For an easier absinthe rinse, fill a mini cocktail spray bottle and mist the absinthe into the glass. This works well and doesn’t waste any absinthe.
Chill your glasses in the freezer. A cold glass prevents warming and keeps your drink colder for longer.
For expressing citrus over a cocktail: point the outer peel (non-pith side) outward facing the drink and gently squeeze the edges so the oils spray out over the top of the drink. If done properly, you can see the oils floating on the surface of your drink. This works best with two hands.
Always double-strain shaken cocktails. This removes tiny ice particles that dilute your drink with unnecessary water as you sip.
