A classic cocktail with a unique name, the Corpse Reviver is vibrant and rich. Made with only three ingredients including a brandy base, this cocktail is bold and fruity.
While there are numerous twists on the Corpse Reviver, the trio of Cognac, Calvados, and sweet Vermouth is considered the original or Corpse Reviver No. 1. While the cocktail may have faded after Prohibition, it has withstood the test of time and has seen a resurgence as of late.
