Corpse Reviver No. 2
1 ounce gin
1 ounce Lillet Blanc (or Cocchi Americano, dry vermouth) Alicia likes Cocchi Americano
1 ounce lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
1 ounce orange liqueur (Cointreau)
dash absinthe
or Peychaud's bitters we like these
Garnish: orange peel
Gather the ingredients.
Rinse a chilled cocktail glass with absinthe and toss the excess.
Pour the remaining ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake well.
Strain into the rinsed glass.
Garnish with an orange peel.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
Mixing suggestion with Ransom dry vermouth...
“From a bartending perspective, this was Vickery's favorite of the light vermouths for its versatility. He suggested using it in a Glasgow (a Scotch-vermouth cocktail) or in place of Lillet and Absinthe in a Corpse Reviver #2.”
