A Cocktail Resurrected from the Roaring Twenties

Step into the glittering world of the Roaring Twenties, where the Corpse Reviver #2 emerged as a potent elixir in the speakeasies and cocktail bars of Prohibition-era America. Crafted with gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, and a touch of absinthe, this resurrected libation was originally designed as a hair of the dog remedy—a cure for the morning after a night of indulgence. From its clandestine origins to its revival in the modern cocktail renaissance, the Corpse Reviver #2 remains a timeless classic that beckons adventurous drinkers to awaken their senses and revive their spirits.

Prepare to be revived by the Corpse Reviver #2! Its vibrant flavor profile begins with the botanical complexity of gin, balanced by the citrusy brightness of Cointreau and the floral notes of Lillet Blanc.

Served in a chilled coupe glass and garnished with a twist of lemon, each sip is a journey through the decadence of the Jazz Age—a toast to life, liberty, and the pursuit of good spirits.
