Savoy Corpse Reviver

4-6 cracked ice cubes

1 oz. brandy

1 oz. Fernet Branca

1 oz. creme de menthe

Directions: stir ingredients in a mixing glass and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

I chose to make this variation on the corpse reviver #1 because I really don’t want to have a bottle of calvados in my already-full liquor cabinet. It’s maybe the most herb-forward cocktail I’ve ever had, equal parts with Fernet and creme de menthe is certainly a decision. I didn’t dislike it, but I would only drink this again in the context of needing a true corpse reviver…this would get me moving with a hangover. Could be a decent digestivo as well, but it would have to be a HEAVY meal.
