Houstonist Bartender: Corpse Reviver

Houstonist is always trying to up our level of sophistication. Thus, last week we were watching the Fine Living Channel's Great Cocktails series to get some ideas for sophisticated sipping material.

The Corpse Reviver was one drink featured on the episode we caught. Per the show, the drink was named due to its ability to invigorate even the most hungover imbiber. Huh. Sounds like something you and we could use.

Hit Spec's on your way home from the office today. Pick up the ingredients listed below so that you can mix up a batch tomorrow morning (or 2 PM) so that you can motivate yourself to watch the foosball.

Corpse Reviver

+ 3/4 oz. Tanqueray gin
+ 3/4 oz. Cointreau
+ 2 drops Herbsaint
+ 3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
+ 3/4 oz. Lillet Blanc

Shake with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.

Have a drink we should spread to the masses? Send it along [jason at houstonist dot com], and we just may post it after some extensive testing.

Don't be a dumbass. Drink responsibly or take a cab.
