#94 Cocktail: Corpse Reviver No.1

     Corpse Revivers were a category of drinks that we might call eye-openers, or a hair of the dog. Craddock detailed two of these in The Savoy Cocktail Book, and underneath this one he instructed the reader that the drink should be "taken before 11a.m., or whenever steam and energy are needed".
     In 2001, Steve Gilberg, publisher of happyhours.com. made this drink using applejack as a base spirit, whereas Craddock put the emphasis on the brandy.
