Cocktail

Ice & tools

Method

Prepare glass

1

Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass by filling it with ice and a little water, or place it in the freezer for several minutes.

2

If using absinthe rinse: pour 1/4 oz absinthe into the chilled glass, gently swirl to coat the bowl, then discard any excess (or save for another use). If you prefer to float absinthe instead, skip the rinse and set aside 1/4 oz to float over the finished cocktail.

Mix cocktail

3

Combine ingredients

Add 1 oz gin, 1 oz Lillet Blanc (or Cocchi Americano), 1 oz Cointreau (or other orange liqueur) and 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice into a cocktail shaker.

4

Add ice

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) to properly chill and dilute the drink.

5

Shake

Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is very cold and well-aerated. The Corpse Reviver #2 is traditionally served well chilled and slightly diluted.

6

Strain

Discard the ice/water from the chilled glass if you used it to chill. Double-strain (using a fine mesh strainer in addition to the shaker strainer) into the prepared chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove any small ice shards and pulp from the lemon juice.

7

Finish with absinthe

If you performed an absinthe rinse earlier, the glass is already coated and no further absinthe is needed. If you set aside absinthe to float, gently pour 1/4 oz absinthe over the back of a spoon to float it on the surface of the cocktail.

Garnish & serve

8

Garnish with either a lemon twist (express oils over the surface and drop or discard) or a single Luxardo maraschino cherry on a skewer. Serve immediately.
