A sibling to the much more popular No. 2, the Corpse Reviver No. 1’s name is a bit of a misnomer; the spirit-heavy cocktail is much more suited to be a nightcap than a hangover remedy. To the original recipe’s Cognac, Calvados and sweet vermouth, Frank Caiafa adds orange bitters and an orange twist garnish in his revived recipe.
