Strain into a coupe glass (preferably chilled).Add ice and stir until chilled, at least 15 seconds.Combine 2 ounces of cognac and 1 ounce each of Calvados and sweet vermouth in a mixing glass.I’d recommend experimenting and seeing what works best for you. I’ve seen equal parts for all of the spirits or cognac taking the lead. Some recipes differ regarding the exact proportions of the various spirits. Also if you’re fond of Vermouth Blanco or have found a sweeter dry vermouth, Lo-Fi is a great option, try those, too! Corpse Reviver #1 Recipe Sweet Vermouth – With some serious sweetness coming from the brandies in this cocktail, you’ll want something a bit more balanced in your choice of vermouth. It will not only perk up the appetite, but the floral.
In a pinch you can work in just about any apple brandy like Laird’s Applejack Brandy. This refreshing aperitif cocktail features Strega, a minty and citrusy herbal liqueur from Italy. Part of the fun with this style of cocktail is mixing and matching until you find a combination you enjoy.Ĭalvados – Calvados is a specific style of apple brandy from Normandy, France. Some recipes call for Armagnac, which is a grape-based brandy from the Gascony region of France, or you can sub in your preferred brandy. Hennessy or Grand Marnier are solid options. You could theoretically use any brandy, but the original recipe specifically calls for cognac. So, go ahead and make one for yourself! Corpse Reviver #1 IngredientsĬognac – Cognac is the dominant component of this three-ingredient cocktail. Now, while you might find Corpse Reviver #2 at classy cocktail bars, you’re less likely to stumble upon the original. The cognac-based cocktail retained popularity into the 1950s but along the way seems to have been usurped by others in the Corpse Reviver family. Corpse Reviver #1 was first published in The Savoy Cocktail Book in the 1930s. The family of Corpse Reviver cocktails was considered to be perfect as hangover remedies, boozy hair-of-the-god elixirs made to refresh and revitalize. Which is a shame! Because this pre-prohibition beverage is damn delicious and relatively easy to make. You’ve likely heard of this cocktail’s sibling – Corpse Reviver #2 – but the OG rarely gets as much love. We recently featured the Corpse Reviver #1 in our guide to underrated and obscure cocktails. Here’s what you should drink this weekend.
