Corpse Reviver No. 1

A medicinal classic from the late 1800s, the Corpse Reviver No. 1 was designed as a morning-after restorative—hair of the dog with refinement. The drink leads with the warmth and dried fruit richness of cognac, tempered by the herbal sweetness of vermouth and a subtle apple-forward backbone that adds lift without brightness. Bitters tie the spirit-forward composition together, leaving a smooth, slightly bittersweet finish that feels restorative even without the hangover.
