The Corpse Reviver #2 is one of my favourite classic cocktails. It’s a nice, equal parts drink; it combines gin, triple sec, Lillet (though Cocchi Americano is best), and lemon juice in an absinthe-rinsed glass and it’s delicious when made well.
It’s one of those old time drinks originally designed to blow away the cobwebs caused by the exuberances of the night before — it’s short, sharp, and snappy and insofar as drinking helps cure a hangover, sure, it works.
