Corpse Reviver No. 2

Gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, lemon, absinthe rinse. Harry Craddock, Savoy Cocktail Book, 1930.

Ingredients

• London Dry Gin¾ ounce
• Cointreau¾ ounce
• Lillet Blanc¾ ounce
• Fresh Lemon Juice¾ ounce
• Absinthe (rinse)0.13 ounce

Directions

Rinse a chilled coupe with absinthe (swirl, discard excess). Combine remaining ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake until well-chilled. Double-strain into the rinsed coupe.

Notes

Equal parts everything except the absinthe (just a rinse). Craddock warned: 'Four of these in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again.'
