Originally intended as a hang-over cure capable of raising the dead & to "revive" you, the Corpse Reviver #2 is an easy drinking but boozy cocktail that might backfire - famous bartender Harry Craddock once remarked that “four of Corpse Reviver No. 2 taken in quick succession will unrevive the corpse!”. This enjoyable cocktail has in recent years certainly seen a revival in cocktail bars.
