Cocktails are a good thing, but, actually, they contains poison :) One of great problem of imbibing is an abuse of alcohol.
Classic cocktails for case of abuse of alcohol are “corpse rivivers” and “pick-me-ups”. I try something thereof. First recipe of Corpse Revivver #1 Cocktail was found in Cocktails and Mixed Drinks by Anthony Hogg. The author of this recipe is famous John Johnson from Savoy`s Amerivcan Bar. The cocktail was invented in 1948 (UPD: That seems to be incorrect, the recipe was created by Joe Gilmore in 1954).
Corpse Reviver #1 (a)
30 ml brandy
30 ml Fernet-Branca
30 ml creme de menthe white
Shake. Cocktail glass.
It is wonderfull cocktail! Real remedy.
Another recipe of Corpse Reviver #1 was found on Cocktail DB. The author of this corpse reviver is Frank Meier, barman of parisian Ritz Hotel. The cocktail was invented in 1920s.
Corpse Reviver #1(b)
30 ml brandy
20 ml apple brandy
20 ml sweet vermouth
Stri well with ice. Cocktail glass.
This cocktail has very strong taste. It is not my choice.
The name of Pick-Me-Up Cocktail enamour me. This recipe was found in Cocktails and Mixed Drinks by Anthony Hogg.
Pick-Me-Up Cocktail
30 ml cognac
30 ml dry vermouth
30 ml pastis
Stir well with ice. Cocktail glass.
I shake this cocktail and use Ricard as pastis. The result is great! The Pick-Me-Up Cocktail is admirable cocktail. Another great remedy for crapulent.
