Now this is a fun, stylish cocktail for Halloween parties. It pairs well in a dark cocktail menu with the Black Martini for a little scare with some class. The story of the Corpse Reviver is that of a drink "taken before 11 a.m., or whenever steam and energy are needed," according to The Savoy Cocktail Book (Harry Craddock, 1930).
Also, you may want to try the Corpse Reviver #2, which has a gin base and is an equal in its classic origins, or its modern rendition, the Corpse Reviver #2011.
