This was in interesting test to see how the Original Corpse Reviver no 1 has changed over time. And I must say there is quite a difference. in size and flavor. Try them out and tell us what you think.
Very cool take on all three of the cocktails all in one video. I liked the multi generational aspect of each one of them cool to see how the cocktail has really evolved. Sad that the one that you liked the most was the tiny guy. Love the hat as well. Happy Halloween!
would be fun doing a night (or several nights) of corpse revivers variants. BTW on the opposite page of the 1871 book for hte corpse reviver is a drink called a Yard of Flannel... Made me chuckle...
I've tried a very different version. A mix of both the Savoy and the modern version you shared with us. It uses 1.5oz Cognac, .5oz Applejack, 1oz Sweet Vermouth, and 2 Dashes of Bitters. I quite like that version. Although I haven't tried those 3 you made, I would have to make some of those you made to see the difference. But I would probably skip the 1871 version, that's just me 🤣
@@boozeontherocks Yeah back then drinking room temp booze was very common, complete opposite from our modern drinking. The one I shared is stirred. Served on a coupe/cocktail glass. It usually calls for cherry as a garnish but I would personally do a lemon peel and discard it, I like the bitterness from the oils, compliments the ango
I've only tried the modern version, but the room temp one actually sounds pretty good! Have you ever checked out the Savoy Stomp? he goes through and makes all the cocktails in the book. Puzzling out what a wine glass is and how much a Pony is and stuff like that. Good stuff Oh but it looks like its not up any more. bummer ANYWAY, I'm rambling.

The hat, the drinks, the production 👏👏👏 but the reaction to the first one 🤣🤣 awesome vid Dave!
Thank you Trevor! What is your favorite version of a Corpse Reviver?
@@boozeontherocks #2 by far, love the citric flavours and botanicals from the gin with the lillet

Digging the Papa Shango look David. Very early 90's WWF.
Thank you. I try.
I love your reaction on the first one! HAHA... The second version looks interesting, I'll give it a try for sure! Cheers!
The first one definitely got me. The Second is quite good.

Hmm,,, More variants.... That is a possibly. And I should look at the Yard of Flannel.

I will try the recipe you posted, is it shake or stirred? The 1871 version I think would take some getting used to.
