Corpse Reviver No. 2
Equal parts gin, Cointreau, Lillet, and lemon over an absinthe rinse. Craddock's morning cure; four of these, he warned, would undo the work.
Cosmopolitan
Citron vodka, Cointreau, lime, and a measure of cranberry. The nineties drink that was always better than its reputation.
Last Word
Equal parts gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino, and lime. Buried for eighty years, revived in Seattle, now permanent.
