Everything You Need to Know About the Corpse Reviver No. 1
The Corpse Reviver No. 1 is the predecessor to its more famous counterpart, both belonging to a family of "Corpse Reviver" drinks first documented in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, believed to cure hangovers or "revive the corpse." While the No. 2 is bright and citrusy with gin, the No. 1 offers a distinctly different, richer, and more spirit-forward profile. It traditionally combines cognac, apple brandy , and sweet vermouth, creating a potent and complex brandy-based cocktail that is warming and herbaceous, providing a robust cure for what ails you.
