The cocktail supposedly strong enough to raise the dead
In short: Explore the history of the Corpse Reviver, a name shared by numerous distinct recipes throughout the 20th century. This video features a specific 1937 variation from an extremely rare cocktail book.
The video demonstrates a specific Corpse Reviver recipe sourced from the 1937 Cafe Royal Cocktail Book 'Coronation Edition'. This particular book is exceedingly rare, with reports suggesting only 25 copies were ever printed. While the recipe features a dash of Angostura Bitters, it is just one of many variations from the era. During this period, different cocktail books often listed multiple, completely different recipes under the same name, all unified by the shared intent of being potent enough to 'raise the dead'.
