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 this article...
“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.”

Made with rinse of Meletti and Ransom Dry gin. Alicia loved this combo! Erik enjoyed Mephisto and Ransom.
