corpse reviver

Morning-after remedy

A corpse reviver is a cocktail intended to cure a hangover—the idea being that it revives someone who feels half-dead.

The name applies to several different recipes, most famously the Corpse Reviver No. 2, made with gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, lemon juice, and a dash of absinthe.
