"Corpse Reviver #2" 

Corpse Reviver No. 2, one of my favorite drinks.
I can only get it at the Shady Lady in midtown. 

3/4 ounce gin.3/4 ounce Cointreau.3/4 ounce Lillet blanc.3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice.2 dashes absinthe or Herbsaint.
Combine in a shaker with cracked ice; shake and strain.Garnish with a stemless cherry.

"The Corpse Reviver 2 could be called the Corpse Reviser with its many variations.  The name sounds eerily distasteful, but the drink itself flavors out quite lovely.  The color resembles that of a corpse with an almost opaque yet not quite clear coloring giving it a bone-like quality.  A maraschino cherry garnish dropped dead center of the drink finishes this sinister, yet delicious cocktail with blood-curdling appeal."



INGREDIENTS:
*1 part Beefeater Gin
*1 part Cointreau
*1 part Lillet Blanc
