First, apologies for the awful name. I did actually see it written somewhere recently as just 'Reviver #2'. Behold the recipe and its variations.
Equal parts(1 ounce?) of:
Gin
Lillet
Cointreau
Lemon juice
and a few drops of pastis
Shake with ice and serve however you like.
Tonight's version was made with Luxardo triple sec instead of Cointreau, and my homemade vin d'orange in place of the Lillet. We tried it up but added some ice because it was too strong for our delicate constitutions. It was quite refreshing.
p.s. A pint or quart canning jar makes a great shaker! After shaking, unscrew the band and remove it, and use the flat lid as the strainer by moving it aside a touch.
p.p.s I learned of this cocktail a long time ago from my bartending colleague Keli Rivers - one of those people who's been rediscovering old cocktails for many years now.
