Background and Origins of
Corpse Reviver #2
The Corpse Reviver #2 is a classic cocktail with a storied past, known for its potent yet refreshing mix of ingredients. This drink is part of a larger family of "Corpse Reviver" cocktails, which were originally designed as hangover cures—hence the name, suggesting they could revive even the most debilitated imbiber.
The most famous Corpse Reviver cocktail is the Corpse Reviver #2, which gained prominence during the early 20th century. It was first documented in Harry Craddock's 1930 "The Savoy Cocktail Book," a seminal guide that captured many of the era's best cocktail recipes. Craddock, an American bartender who fled Prohibition in the United States to work at the Savoy Hotel in London, described the Corpse Reviver #2 as a drink to be taken "before 11 a.m., or whenever steam and energy are needed."
