Corpse Reviver No. 2

Whenever you feel lifeless and find your corpse in need of revival, I highly recommend trying out the following concoction: the Corpse Reviver No.2 from the 1930 Savoy cocktail book.

1/4 Wine Glass Lemon Juice

1/4 Wine Glass Kina Lillet (lillet blanc, for those mixing in the 21st century)

1/4 Wine Glass Cointreau

1/4 Wine Glass Dry Gin

1 Dash Absinthe

Place in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously; strain into a cocktail glass.

According to Harry Craddock, compiler of the Savoy Hotel Cocktail Book, "Four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again." From experience, I would also like to note that the reviving effects wear off after one hour.
