Corpse Reviver #2

This is one of those “hair of the dog” cocktails that have given a new life (no pun intended, ahh maybe intended) beyond a just a hangover cure.  There are a couple of versions of this drink hence the “#2” but this one looks the best. Its typically equal parts Gin, lemon juice, Cointreau and Lillet and a dash of absinthe  but I altered the proportions a little bit to give it more Gin Umph. This drink will animate your moldy corpse or zombify you depending on the number of drinks you consumed.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ ounces Gin
• ½ ounce Lillet blanc
• ½ ounce orange liqueur (Gran Gala used here) 
• ½ of a lemon (hold on to the peel for garnishing)
• 1 teaspoon Absinthe (St. George Absinthe)

Add all ingredients into a mixing glass and stir with ice. Before pouring add the Absinthe to your martini glass. Swoosh it around so that the interior has fully been covered with Absinthe. Then strain the drink into a martini glass and twist the lemon peel over the drink and drop it in.
