Review:

For an equal parts recipe, this Corpse Reviver variation is brilliantly balanced. It's also a delicious cocktail.

History:

Adapted from a recipe in Patrick Gavin Duffy's 1956 Official Mixer's Manual. This recipe features Swedish Punch whereas the recipe in his 1934 first edition calls for Kina Lillet.
