Girlfriend asked for a cocktail with no specific preference and we had leftover lillet blanc in the fridge so I wanted to see what I could do with it. I can see why this is called corpse reviver because it hits strong despite it seeming like a cute pink drink.
Recipe found online, not sure how accurate it is but it’s what I used:
- 1 part lillet blanc
- 1 part cointreau
- 1 part gin
- 1 part lemon juice
For sure, I’d even say its not quite a #2 without it. Or if I ordered it from a decent bar where things are done competently, I’m going to expect it.
Gotcha, absinthe was one of those things I haven’t gotten around to yet and wasn’t sure how important it was to the drink
It’s mostly for aroma since it’s just a rinse but really adds a lot of depth
