Corpse Reviver #2 image

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.
