This version, the Corpse Reviver #2, was included in Harry Craddock’s famous Savoy Cocktail Book published in 1930. The Corpse Reviver family of named cocktails are sometimes drunk as alcoholic hangover cures, of potency or characteristics to tongue in cheek be able to. The odd name of this drink comes from a family of cocktails called Corpse Reviver cocktails.

I can’t say I believe fully in its effectiveness, but the “like cures like” philosophy dates back to the days of Aristophanes:Įffective as a hang-over cure or not, it never hurts to add a great classic to your brunch repertoire.
