The Corpse Reviver #2 is a classic, pre-Prohibition cocktail known for its complex, balanced flavor profile. It is typically made with equal parts gin, Lillet Blanc, lemon juice, and Cointreau (or triple sec), with a dash of absinthe, and is served chilled in a coupe glass. This drink is a staple of early 20th-century cocktail culture, often cited as a 'hair of the dog' remedy.
As a cocktail, it is primarily a source of simple carbohydrates from the sugars in the liqueurs and juice, with negligible fat or protein. A standard serving contains roughly 150-200 calories, almost entirely from alcohol and sugar.
