Green Park Cocktail

Green Park Spring Drink Recipe

Eric Lorincz, head bartender at The Savoy in London created this riff on one of the hotel’s most famous eye-openers, the Corpse Reviver No. 2. The original mix of gin, Lillet, Cointreau is replaced with Old Tom gin, basil, celery bitters and egg white for a fizzy, herbaceous play on Harry Craddock’s early 20th-century original.
