snow falls outside and the winter is upon us. it's not that we didn't know it was coming, we just didn't expect it to arrive like this . . . which makes me think of a favorite mark twain quote: "a thing long expected takes the form of the unexpected when at last it comes." how true; and this drink delivers just that.
it's citrusy, tart, with an anise finish that'll leave you ready for more. easy to drink, tread lightly on this one, it will wake you from whatever slumber may befall you.
the corpse reviver number 2:
3/4 lemon
3/4 lille blanc
3/4 cointreau
3/4 gin (preferably beefeater, but use what you've got.)
2 dashes absinthe
shake. serve up. garnish with an orange peel.
enjoy.
