Best Corpse Reviver Recipes
CORPSE REVIVER
Who cares what is in this cocktail? The name sold me when I read it in Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930). This is one of many variations.

CORPSE REVIVER NO. 2
It's not surprising that this 19th-century cocktail has, forgive me, been brought back from the dead to an enthusiastic response. It's easy to love and easy to drink: lemony, dry (but not too dry) and ever so subtly deepened by absinthe. But be careful, for, as "The Savoy Cocktail Book" famously warns: "Four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again."

CORPSE REVIVER NO. 2 COCKTAIL
Popularized by the famous Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930, this potent cocktail -- one of a series of corpse revivers -- got its name because it was created as a hangover cure. It's not hard to see how this bracing, bright concoction would cure any manner of ailment.

Pour a dash of absinthe into a chilled martini glass and swirl it around until the glass is coated. Discard any remaining absinthe. Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass and garnish with an orange peel. Serve immediately.
CORPSE REVIVER NO. 1
This cocktail gets less love than its more popular sibling, the Corpse Reviver No. 2, but that shouldn't be the case: the No. 1 is exceptionally elegant. The warmth of the brandy and the apple flavor of the Calvados combine to make it a natural for autumn drinking, but I wouldn't turn it down any other time of year.

MEZCAL CORPSE REVIVER
Charles Cerankosky, a Rochester bar owner, has fielded plenty of creative orders in his day. One of the most unusual requests was to use mezcal instead of gin in a Corpse Reviver, a sour that dates back a century. This twist is not a natural fit, so Mr. Cerankosky replaced the usual lemon juice with a mix of lime and grapefruit juice to better complement the mezcal. With all that's going on in this drink, the mezcal almost gets lost, if that's possible. Still, its smokiness lingers in the back, and the panoply of flavors is intriguing enough to lure you back for another sip.

ITALIAN CORPSE REVIVER
This refreshing aperitif cocktail (pictured on the left) features Strega, a minty and citrusy herbal liqueur from Italy. It will not only perk up the appetite, but the floral flavor that comes from being infused with over 70 different botanicals is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at the party.

CORPSE REVIVER NO. 28
The bartender Mimi Burnham's take on the Corpse Reviver makes use of some uncommon ingredients that are worth seeking out: a barrel-aged Genever (a particularly rich and flavorful Dutch gin) and Grand Liqueur de Sapins (a sweet, seductive liqueur made with pine buds). When she has time, Burnham cuts orange peel into the shapes of tiny men and sets them to float, or drown, in the drink; I wholeheartedly endorse this garnish.

CORPSE REVIVER #2
The Corpse Reviver #2 is one of a small family of drinks originally concocted as hangover remedies, of which Harry Craddock, cataloging them in the "Savoy Cocktail Book" in 1930, wrote, "To be taken before 11 a.m., or whenever steam and energy are needed." (He also famously cautioned: "Four of these taken in swift succession will quickly unrevive the corpse again.") You can occasionally find it on cocktail lists. But there's no point in waiting on chance: learn to make this.
