Oh my goodness. This cocktail is so g-o-o-o-o-d! It goes down like Kool-aid, so be careful with this one. 😉
The Corpse Reviver No. 2 cocktail was created by Harry Craddock in the 1930’s. He stated “Four of these taken in swift succession will quickly un-revive the corpse again.” He wasn’t wrong.
This cocktail is definitely one of our most favorites. It is typically served in a coupe glass. Give it a try!
