Simon Ford demonstrates one of my favorite cocktails, for brunch or otherwise.
Corpse Reviver No. 2
0.75 oz Gin
0.75 oz Lillet Blanc
0.75 oz Cointreau
0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
Absinthe.Rinse chilled cocktail glass with absinthe. Combine gin, Lillet, Cointreau & lemon juice in an ice filled shaker and shake it hard enough to wake the dead. Strain and serve.
When made with Cocci Americano substituted for the Lillet this is a wonderful cocktail, but with the Lillet, it loses something and does not do much for me.
