- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- The Corpse Reviver #1 is a cocktail invented by legendary British Bartender Harry Craddock while he was behind the stick at the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London. It made it's appearance in print in The Savoy Cocktail Book published in 1933. Craddock was a British bartender who immigrated to the US and found himself bartending at Legendary bars suck as the Hoffman House and Knickerbocker Hotel. Although he found prominence as a bartender in New York ( he was said to have bartended for such luminaries as Charley Chaplin, Vivien Leigh, Ava Gardener and Errol Flynn), when Prohibition passed into law Craddock fled back to his native England to ply his trade. The story goes that Craddock was the guy who served the last legal drink in America and the day prohibition went into effect he was on a boat headed for England. Once there he found himself at the American bar just after another legendary bartender Ada "Coley" Coleman hung up her shaker. While at the Savoy Craddock went on to create dozens of amazing classic cocktails, many of which are experiencing a revival but also the publication of his cocktail book. Gary Regan says The Savoy Cocktail book is "Probably the most important cocktail book of the 20th Century". So you guys should definitely pick up a copy which you can here:

The Corpse reviver cocktail is a category of drink said to have been created sometime in the 1860's. But if that's true, we would never have a way of knowing because it was only first printed by Craddock in the Savoy cocktail book. The Purpose of the cocktail as its name suggests is as a cure for a hangover which is somewhat counter intuitive because even if it'll revive you in the short term as Craddock put it himself: 'Four of these taken in quick succession will unrevive the corpse again".
Again, I do state in the video that Craddock was american, but he was in fact born British. He did though obtain his American Citizenship in 1916 and was enlisted to fight in the very end of WWI. So when he went back to his native england, he had to immigrate as an American, so in a round about way I'm not wrong in the video. Another cool and interesting fact its that he made a white lady cocktail, sealed in a shaker and had it buried in the walls of the American Bar. It has never been found.
Here's the specs:
1.5oz Cognac
1oz Sweet Vermouth
.5oz Applejack
2 Dashes Angostura bitters
Note: I've noticed a few little spelling errors in the titling throughout the episode and decided to just let them ride. Not worth the time fixing and re uploading them.
He looks like he needs a corpse reviver.
Sounds like it too
Gotta love these older vids. Leandro really picked up his presentation game over the years since, but the pure love of the art was always there. Cheers!
Wow, I was just about to make a similar comment, but you summed it up perfectly.
Sounds like someone lost his voice lol. Partying all night bud. Rock On ! 😂🙌😜
I'm glad you started tasting your cocktails in the newer videos. I appreciate your impression of the drink and the tasting notes.
Hi guys, welcome back to “drink”....
Yep. Old video. When we started our Channel was called “Drink” LOL
You are the bomb! More people should subscribe! Great information and techniques.
thank you so much for your words of encouragement! They mean a lot!
The Educated Barfly All true...teaching is a gift all do NOT have!
I began the evening slowly with the Corpse Reviver No.2 (delicious, thank you). I then came here to enjoy the Corpse Reviver No.1. After tasting the Sloe Gin, completely unrelated mind you, my corporeal form became so enlivened that the neighbours began to plead that I consume 3 more Corpse Revivers No.2!
I ordered a #1 at our swankiest coctail bar in nw Arkansas and got a very solid #2 lol can't have it all
Has anyone told you you look and talk exactly like Nick from New Girl?
Nope! Thats a new one!
my man sounding like badger from breaking bad 😂 he didn't even plan to make this vid, man just needed one
High quality instruction and also enjoy the brief history to the drinks without being stuffy
I have been bothering my fave local for a few months about Lairds. They finally got it in 2 months ago and my bottle is bonded as well. Great information, thank you.
Omg your hair is wicked lol not bashing it tbh your business in the front party in the back its wicked
Im happy you have changed hairstyle....a little bit
I like your show..ilovewine.. thanks for the impo..
I think that the Young Man would be an excellent addition to your cognac cocktail library
ill check it out!
Great video. Happy to subscribe!
Thank you so much!
Pretty sure Lairds still has a bonded product?
Yes they do. They make some pretty great products outside of that as well like the 100% apple brandy 86 proof
I wish all bartenders took there time to make s drink correctly.
I appreciate the commitment, hahaa
Screwed up and bought the 80 proof Lairds. Very disappointing product. Need to get my hands on the 100 proof and compare.
Hei, greetings from Finland the happiest country in the world. Could one replace applejack with calvados? Our national monopoly has just one applejack and it's prizey!!! 55€/0,5L!!! And if one can replace applejack with calvados, what kind of calvados? XO? VSOP? Something young and light? Applejack is unknown product here.
Yes! Replace with VSOP Calvados!
@@TheEducatedBarfly Thanks for quick response! VSOP calvados is cheaper here than the applejack.
I first learned the Corpse Reviver #2 from your channel. When friends asked what happened to #1, I told them it didn’t work…
Kinda quirky tasting; I need to do this with bonded Apple Jack but I ran out
Downvotes are people who are jelly cuz they dont have the bonded.
Great video, apart from the fact, that Harry Craddock is definitely not an American :)
thanks! If you read the show notes under the video there is a sort of retraction. Harry Craddock was born British but immigrated the the united states in 1916. he died an American Citizen so in a sense he was American.
Schooled >_
What’s up with zombie Leandro?
Pretty good. I should try it with the cognac he recommended.
I wouldn't care if you farted.
How do I know if a bottle of 100 proof Laird's Straight is 'Bonded' as you suggest? I've purchased two bottles in the last year and a half and both have the same red border 'Bottled in Bond' as the one here. Is there some other identifier? A certain year or specific labeling maybe? What you are describing seems like something that would eventually become prized and valuable to collectors.
If it says "bottle in bond" anywhere on the bottle its Bottled in Bond. The bottles are still out there just hard to find in certain areas.
Lol he did like 70 revolutions
You've come a long way! 👍
Did you count your "stirrrrs"? ;)
I love these early videos. Horse from a night of bartending, long flowing hair, beautiful stuff start to finish
😂
Dope! Love your videos. I counted about 150 stirs total. You’re defining a stir as once around the glass right?
Better to think of it in seconds rather than stirs. The fact is that you can stir a cocktail for a full 2 minutes and not over dilute it. The dilution is very controlled with stirring
@@TheEducatedBarfly right on, that makes sense
So, basically...
"I'm going to show you a cocktail you can't make because this ingredient no longer exists."
as far as I know, they still make the BiB brandy, though I could be mistaken. I've got a bottle of it myself!
What kind of mixing glass are you using? Dasher?
Hey! Here are some links to the mixing glass and dasher I'm using. Mixing Glass: amzn.to/2OYS2pI and Bitters Dasher: amzn.to/2Oqi4RD Also I have a bigger list of items I use on our amazon storefront if you want to check it out here: www.amazon.com/shop/theeducatedbarfly
