Good way to use up money huh?

One day lol

@Quasi-duck, for you ----

The Corpse Reviver No. 2

The Ingredients:



A good absinthe (here, St. George Absinthe Verte), Cocchi Americano (or Lillet Blanc in a pinch, since Kina Lillet is no longer made), a good London dry gin (here, Plymouth Gin), Cointreau (no substitutes), and fresh lemon juice (bottled stuff is bad).

Your Tools:



A Hawthorne strainer, fine strainer, lemon squeezer, sharp paring knife, cutting board, Boston shaker set (tin and pint glass), jigger, and eyedropper.


The Mix:



Pour one measured ounce (~30 ml) of each main ingredient (Cocchi Americano, gin, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice) into the shaker glass.

Add Ice:



Add good quality ice (not that stinky stuff that's been sitting next to your frozen liver) to the shaker. Place the shaker tin over the shaker glass, with a firm pat for a good seal. Vigorously shake, using both hands, for 10 to 12 seconds.

The Absinthe Rinse for the Coupe:



Add an eyedropper of absinthe (~2 or 3 ml) to the coupe glass, and rotate the glass to evenly coat the inside of the glass as close to the rim as you can get without spilling any. There should be no visible liquid in the bottom of the glass after completing the absinthe rinse. If there is excess absinthe, flick it out in the sink.

After shaking the main ingredients in your Boston shaker, fine strain the drink through both the Hawthorne strainer (held over the mouth of the shaker tin) and through the fine strainer (held above the coupe). The final drink should be well chilled, but thanks to the double straining should have absolutely no lemon pulp or ice shards.

Voila! Slainte!



When you drink the Corpse Reviver No. 2, you're drinking a little bit of cocktail and literary history. It was invented by an American bartender in exile during Prohibition in 1920s Paris, and it was a favorite of the American ex-pat literary crowd at Harry's New York Bar in Paris, including Cole Porter, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway.

When I was a young bartender in college and grad school, it was one of my favorite cocktails to make, and it's still one of my favorite cocktails to drink when there's a competent drink-slinger behind the bar. Elegant, tart, with a slight touch of sweetness and bitterness, background botanicals from the gin, and a slight anise bouquet from the absinthe rinse. It is one of the best balanced cocktails I've ever had -- bar none. (And that includes the "Pan-Galactic Gargle-Blaster," for you Douglas Adams fans.)

Cheers, mate.

BTW, the one I just made for the photos . . . well, it's gone.

I'm making another before I go back to conquering the world.

I'm only 13 so I don't drink alcohol products, my mommy told me not to. But I love my mommy's hot chocolate. I accidentally drank a teeny sip of bud light and it tasted HORRIBLE!!!!!!!! Word to the wise, don't drink it.

Haha! I hope its the dog that is 13 years old... not you

I am not old enough to Drink alcohol and I won't be for a while. But My Dad Says Bud Lights the best alcohol - wise . Any ways, My Favorite drink is The Root Beer Floats A&W Makes. You should really try it, it's amazing.

Hm... I hope you are mature enough for the forums. Haha

Your dad needs to get out more.

I love Shirley temple (non alcoholic) even tho i can go drink i don't like the taste of alcohol.

One word: tea

Which tea?)

I like a lot the taste of alcohol ... But I'm allergic to it- could not stop drinking if I drank the first one. So I wound up throwing up and passing out with a big hangover all the time I picked up a drink of alcohol ... Thus, I had to stop drinking over 22 years ago ...

favourite drink: Milk +honey. Makes the best taste ever

I like sweetened iced tea. Just plain is fine, but maybe a small hint of fruit can be added. Peach, Raspberry, Lemon, etc.

I think that alcohol is overrated imo. I don't get the popularity of it but hey we all got different preferences.

I have tried all of these and they are a nice choice.

Black Russian Number 3:
Vodka, Kahlua, Orange, Orange slice, on ice

The Cool Kid:
1 Part tequila, 1 part Vodka, Sprite.

The Godfather:
Scotch & Amaretto

Hot Afternoon
Peach Schnapps, Kahlua


Bourbon & 7up is a good choice if one cannot decide what to have.

Lemon infusions tea works well.

Coke Zero with Margarita.

Tyskie beer is best on a hot afternoon.

Black tea
