This is seriously one of the best of the many cocktail books I’ve been asked to review and it’s the tie-in to the history and the written story that give each drink a greater meaning. I simply love knowing the history of a drink (well baring some Sex on the Beach might not be one I’ll investigate soon!) and after perusing this wonderful little book I see several more from the collection of 40 recipes that I want to share. I was sent a small cocktail book titled, ‘ Storied Sips‘ by Erica Duecy and this won’t be the last cocktail I’ll share from this tome. As Craddock once remarked, ‘Four of these taken in swift succession will un-revive the corpse again.’Īlthough not a new recipe I did use a new book for my version.

Names maybe unfamiliar to many today but in their heyday they were the likes of Brad and Angelina! Craddock was a renown mixologist who stirred up cocktails for the likes of Ava Gardner, Charlie Chaplin and Errol Flynn. Most of the other formulas were forgettable but one has had timeless appeal.Īppearing first in Harry Craddock’s 1930’s ‘Savoy Cocktail Book,’ Mr. The early twentieth century actually saw many similar type breakfast drinks that were used to remedy hangovers and hopefully steel oneself to get through the day. Truth is this corpse needs to be revived more often after a long day than after a big night. Or if you’re more like me and my cocktail enjoying but lightweight friends you’ll just forgo all that reveling business and simply enjoy this cocktail while you’re handing out candy to the kiddos.
You my friend are the corpse because I know you feel like death…and this is just what the doctor ordered the Corpse Reviver No. When you wake up in the morning and your head hurts and you wonder why you did all that stuff. Yes, when you have partied and reveled and possibly overdone it. Let’s talk about the day after Halloween.
