CORPSE REVIVER 2 FULL

There was indeed a Corpse Reviver #1, and also a #3, but ours has enjoyed a lot more popularity, and is by far the tastiest. The idea that this was once a morning-after cocktail may not be as interesting as the fact that it’s number two in what was obviously a line of them. The truth is, the Corpse Reviver #2 is great any time of the day! Actually, we don’t want to suggest that this or any other cocktail has real medicinal or morning nutritional value. But in our case, bright and refreshing flavors are here to help get you going while the alcohol numbs the pain.

The Corpse Reviver #2 first appeared in print back in 1930 in Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book. Of course, the best example of this kind of beverage may be the Bloody Mary which can sometimes be made into a full breakfast. Nothing helps a corpse recover from a wild night of partying than another cocktail, right? It’s not that crazy to admit that some cocktails have historically been used as cures for hangovers. It may sound like a potion that can resurrect the dead, but in this case the Reviver is actually a class of cocktails usually considered “morning-after” refreshments. The Corpse Reviver #2 is our first Halloween Drink of the Week. Although the name may have you running for the hills, this drink may surprise you with its simple recipe and delicious flavor.

Today, we want to show you a cocktail that deserves to be on your list of favorites all year long.

Over the course of the next four weeks we’ll cover our favorite ghoulish classics as we work our way toward the end of the month. We are already a full week into October, and this being the second scariest month of the year (beware of Income Tax April), it seemed fitting to feature cocktails that would work nicely at a Halloween party.
