We hate to go out on such a sobering note.
"What happened in the world of cocktails this past year, and how are Americans' drinking habits changing?" asks Liane Hansen of Ted Haigh,
curator of the Museum of the American Cocktail.
It turns out that the big thing of 2008 going into 2009 is a revival of Corpse Reviver No. 2: an ounce of London dry gin, an ounce of
Cointreau, an ounce of Lillet blanc, an ounce of fresh lemon juice and two or three drops of absinthe.
"It was originally conceived to be consumed in the morning to revive the corpse again,"
says Haigh. "That doesn't sound like it would revive a corpse; it sounds like it would create a corpse," responds Hansen.
Cheers!
