Corpse Reviver No. 2

Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book warns to 'drink four of these in swift succession - it will unrevive the corpse again.

1. 1

   Chill a cocktail glass, then rinse it with absinthe - add a small amount, swirl to coat all interior surfaces, and discard the excess.

2. 2

   Combine gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, and fresh lemon juice in a cocktail shaker.

3. 3

   Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and properly diluted.

4. 4

   Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared absinthe-rinsed cocktail glass.

5. 5

   Garnish with a lemon twist, expressing the oils over the surface before placing on the rim.
