This for me is exceptional made with Liquore Strega, Cocchi Americano Bianco, lemon/lime 50/50, and lime zest twist plus a generous dash of Absinthe. Corpse Reviver and a Last word

...and a Last Word had a baby! and it was wonderful!

Wow that’s the super super balanced version. I’m out of the Lillet so yours sounds like a fun variation!

The lemon/lime split was an interesting idea and in this necessitated by running out of lemon. I did a 50/50 split of Strega and genepy, also Cocchi Americano. Felt like it needed some of the sweetness added back in so 2.5 ml triple sec. Some really interesting flavours coming out. I used to do an “instant icecream “ with orange, lemon and lime juice and rind and fresh cream. Reminds me of that.

Triple sec seems a promising addition addition. Must try. Favorite of mine: In a frozen glass. Old fahsioned or larger. Two small scoops Häagen-Dazs vanilla bean (or other authentic no emulsifer ice cream). Half fill two to one white grapefruit /Pom pomegranite juice, splash of lime. Top with tonic water. Careful it foams like a rootbeer float. Also any bitters you might be inclined to add. Plus vary the juices. Apple. Orange. Good with booze in it also.

This one is my favourite Reviver. I sure hope it works. When I was making 2 drinks at once my wife noticed I had more in mine hen hers. She said I was dead to her ….

I view the Last Word similarity others noted as a feature, not a bug. Yellow chartreuse brings so much more lovely complexity to this drink than the orange liqueur, and really makes this old classic sing.

Best Corpse REviver yet - specially since I used Starlino Aranciata aromatized wine and POW did it ever make the flavours play nice together!

Alastair Higgins 2y

I didn't have the Absinthe but added a tiny pinch of salt instead and shook this until very chilled. I think a small amount of fino might work equally as well.

John CARR Premium Member 2y

Definitely prefer the historical version with triple sec over yellow chartreuse, which makes it rather Last Word-ish. If that was the drink I was after, I’d go straight for the last word.

Fantastic! I tried adding 1,5-2 ml Cointreau and it elevates this cocktail beautifully. Try it, cheers!

I really love this cocktail. As Lillet Blanc was a little hard to get here recently, I used Mancino Bianco Ambrato instead and the result is great I think!
