The addition of absinthe to this cocktail was also a new experience for me, and I liked it. Little did I know that he’d be stirring up a classic, rooted in the mid 1800’s, and that it would immediately open up an entire new world of cocktails for me: refreshing gin cocktails with a citrus and sweet component. Then one day we were sitting in front of one of our friends and favorite bartenders, Brian Prugalidad, and I asked for something new. It started with El Dorado and Craft & Commerce, where we explored drinks like the Old Fashioned, Improved Whiskey Cocktail, and Sazerac - all whiskey drinks, which is where our journey began. Just as Shawn and I were beginning to explore cocktails, we were fortunate to have several exceptional craft cocktail bars open in succession here where we live, in San Diego. A cocktail cost around $250 there, and they have one that’s almost $1000, and I’m not the Amazon guy, so good thing we have their recipe book.This is the drink that opened my eyes to gin. I don’t think I will ever be able to drink there, though. If Jerry Thomas’s Bartenders Guide is the best cocktail book the 1800s gave us, then The Savoy Cocktail Book is the best cocktail book of the first half of the 1900s. Printed in 1930, the Savoy Cocktail Book documents the bar’s best recipes from the 1890s to the 1930s and stands as the pillar of prohibition-era European cocktail innovation. A year later, they published the Savoy Cocktail Book.
As the American prohibition was ending, the hotel realized it should record all of its most famous recipes and the innovations Harry brought to the bar. Harry transformed The American Bar from a high-end bar to one of the seminal cocktail bars of the 20th century. He then immigrated back to England and became head bartender of the Savoy Hotel’s Bar. Still, Harry found himself out of work with the start of prohibition in 1920. Harry Craddock was a British-born bartender who immigrated to the United States, eventually becoming a US citizen and head bartender of several high-end hotel bars. The American Bar has always been a high-end bar but what set it on the map was when Harry Craddock became its head bartender in the 1920s. In 1893, The American Bar at the Savoy hotel started serving American-style cocktails in London to the British upper class. A Short History Of The American Bar at the Savoy Hotel In London. The Lillet version will be a bit less sweet than the one made with Cocchi, but the Cocchi one has a nice woody-ness the one made with Lillet lacks. The corpse reviver no.2 is a beautiful balance of sweet and sour citrus, herbal, and fruit flavors. That woody, sweet bitterness reminds me of tamarind. Again the two aperitifs taste similar, but the corpse reviver no.2 made with Cocchi will have a very slight woody sweet bitterness. So the corpse reviver no.2 will taste different depending on if you use Lillet Blanc or Cocchi Americano. What Does The Corpse Reviver No.2 Taste Like? For any pre-1980s cocktail that calls for Kina Lillet, use Cocchi Americano. So even though it shares the Lillet name, you may want to substitute Cocchi Americano for the Kina Lillet. But from other sources and individuals familiar with its taste, most say Cocchi Americano is closer to what Kina Lillet used to taste like than Lillet Blanc. I will clearly say I have personally never tasted the now defunct Kina Lillet. What replaced it is Lillet Blanc, but Lillet Blanc is a different wine from what Kina Lillet was.
Unfortunately, the original ingredient Kina Lillet was discontinued by the Lillet company in 1986. Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Corpse Reviver No.2 Kina Lillet Substitute: Should You Use Lillet Blanc Or Cocchi Americano?
