The Corpse Reviver #2 belongs to a family of "hair of the dog" cocktails published in the Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930, where Harry Craddock warned "four of these taken in swift succession will un-revive the corpse again." Its equal-parts formula of gin, Cointreau, Lillet (or dry vermouth), and lemon, with a rinse of absinthe, creates a drink that is bracingly fresh and dangerously quaffable.
