The Corpse Reviver series originated in the late 19th century as "hangover cure drinks". The best-known version, No.2, was published in 1934 in The Savoy Cocktail Book and became a classic.

The warning in the book is quite clear: "More than four can't get up quickly."

“Some things in life sober you up; others make you realize how tired you are”

Citrus acidity, orange liqueur sweetness, Lillet's elegant wine character and absinthe's secret aroma combine to create an exceptionally balanced structure.
