The other Corpse Reviver

Glass Coupe
Method Stirred

Cognac and calvados stirred with sweet vermouth — apple, oak, and bittersweet wine in a coupe. Listed in the Savoy under 'before 11 a.m. or whenever steam and energy are required.' Believe Craddock.

  • 3/4 oz Calvados
  • 3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth

Method

Add cognac, calvados, and sweet vermouth to a mixing glass with ice. Stir until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish, or a lemon twist if you must.
