Corpse Reviver No. 2

The Corpse Reviver No. 2 belongs to a family of pre-Prohibition cocktails that were consumed for the chief purpose of rousing the drinker from the dead. In other words: They were meant to cure hangovers, increase vigor and otherwise improve one’s morning. Now, they act similarly as Gin margaritas - both being in the sour family with orange liqueur.

Add absinthe to the couple class - swirl around and discard remaining liquid. Add all remaining ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously until chilled, and strain into coup glass. Drink and enjoy!
