Corpse Reviver No. 2
Origin
Harry Craddock · American Bar, Savoy Hotel, London · 1930
First published in Craddock's Savoy Cocktail Book (1930), with the famous warning that 'four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again.' Craddock collected rather than invented the recipe, but the Savoy is its canonical home.
