Corpse Reviver No. 2 Cocktail Recipe
A classic pre-Prohibition era hangover cure from Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book. It is a tart, refreshing equal-parts sour featuring gin, Lillet Blanc, orange liqueur, and lemon juice, with an absinthe rinse for aromatic complexity. Often described as more potent than it tastes.
