Halloween can’t slip by without mention of the classic cocktail – Corpse Reviver. The Corpse Reviver could be called the Corpse Reviser with its many variations. The name sounds eerily distasteful, but the drink itself flavors out quite lovely. The color resembles that of a corpse with an almost opaque yet not quite clear coloring giving it a bone-like quality. A maraschino cherry garnish dropped dead center of the drink finishes this sinister, yet delicious cocktail with blood-curdling appeal.
