In this Halloween special edition of 3-Minute Bartender, Dan unearths one of mixology’s most delightfully macabre creations, the Corpse Reviver #2. Equal parts gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, lemon juice, and a dash of absinthe, this zesty elixir was first prescribed to jolt the dead (or at least the deeply hungover) back to life.

Dan digs into the drink’s spooky origins from the Savoy Cocktail Book, unpacks the legendary warning that “four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again,” and explains why this bright, citrusy potion is the perfect antidote to a night of unholy indulgence.

Whether you’re dressing up, drinking up, or just trying to resurrect yourself after a weekend of witchcraft and whiskey, this one’s a killer.
