Alla scoperta dei Corpse Reviver: storia, curiosità, abbinamenti

🍸 Corpse Reviver cocktails, originating in the mid-1800s, were intended as hangover cures. First mentioned in 1861 by "Punch" and first recipe in "The Gentleman’s Table Guide" in 1871, combining brandy and absinthe. The Criterion Reviver variant emerged in London in 1875. Harry Craddock's "The Savoy Cocktail Book" in 1930 popularized Corpse Reviver No. 1 & No. 2, the latter consisting of 30 ml each of gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, and lime juice plus a drop of absinthe. Variations followed, including champagne-based and five versions in the "Café Royal Cocktail Book" 1937. Corpse Reviver No. 3 appeared in 1956's "Official Mixer’s Manual". These cocktails have featured in films like "The Thin Man" (1934), "Skyfall" (2012), and the TV series "Mad Men". Food pairings for Corpse Reviver No. 2 include oysters, seafood, and smoked salmon.
