Revival Elixir

The Revival Elixir, also known as the Corpse Reviver No. 2, is a classic pre-Prohibition cocktail that was originally enjoyed in the morning, but has since become a timeless favorite for any time of day. Its balanced mix of gin, Lillet blanc, orange liqueur, and freshly squeezed lemon juice creates a refreshing and invigorating drink with a hint of absinthe.
