Corpse Reviver — a classic cocktail designed to wake the senses.
The Corpse Reviver is a legendary classic, originally created as a revitalising cocktail for slow mornings and long nights. True to its name, this drink is designed to refresh the palate, sharpen the senses and deliver an instant feeling of revival,all wrapped in an elegant, citrus-forward profile.
This modern interpretation combines INK Bitter Orange Gin with triple sec, Lillet and fresh lemon juice, creating a vibrant balance of bitterness, freshness and subtle sweetness. A touch of simple syrup smooths the edges, while aniseed myrtle bitters add a delicate aromatic lift that lingers on the finish. Shaken hard and served ice-cold, the Corpse Reviver feels crisp, energetic and dangerously easy to drink.
Despite its bold reputation, this cocktail is all about balance and restraint. Bright, refreshing and layered with complexity, the Corpse Reviver remains a timeless choice for those who appreciate classic cocktails with character, best enjoyed slowly, and preferably with a clear head.
