Corpse Reviver No.2

Corpse Revivers have been on the London scene for centuries with first mentions in Punch in 1861. The most common incarnations, No.1 & No.2 were popularised at the The Savoy's American Bar by Harry Craddock in the 30s.
While Harry said that No.1 should "be taken before 11AM, or whenever steam or energy is needed", he believed with No.2 - “Four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again.”
We find our Corpse Reviver serene, which taken in any succession has us floating up to heaven!
Our Corpse Reviver No.2 goes light on the Cointreau & lemon juice to balance with the fruit notes of our No.3 S.E. Dry vermouth.

*We find herbeous Gins work well here like The Maidstone Distillery's Ranscombe Wild, Foxdenton's English Garden or Beefeater's London Garden.
