Corpse Reviver No. Blue

After Harry Craddock’s Corpse Reviver No. 2, The Savoy, London, 1930. Updated by Jacob Briars, Queenstown, New Zealand, 2007.

Gin, Lillet Blanc, Myatt’s Lemon, Blue Curaçao, absinthe ABV 20.8%

One 75ml serving of Corpse Reviver No. Blue contains 179 calories

The Corpse Reviver family dates to the Victorian era, nominally as hangover remedies. The No. 2 is the one that survived into the modern canon: gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, lemon, and a wash of absinthe to finish.

Our Blue variation replaces the Cointreau with blue curaçao, bringing more orange peel character, a touch more sweetness, and a colour that announces itself. The absinthe is not optional, it is the ghost in the drink, and in ours it is already in the bottle. Aged for six weeks and served cold.

A true modern classic, that is both a wonderful drink faithful to its 19th century roots, and also a reminder not to take oneself too seriously all of the time.
