Shake It Out - Reinventing the Cocktail with Kworq
Kworq delves into cocktail storytelling with the potent Corpse Reviver No. 2, exploring its history and effects for a creative twist on drink analysis.
This week, we carefully tested and analyzed (drank) the Corpse Reviver No. 2
In case you’re not familiar with us here at Kworq, we are a fan of the cocktail. Such fans, that we thought it would be cool to take one of our favorite things and figure out how to tell a story around it. I like to think of it as an excuse to drink disguised as an exercise in creativity. But you can be the judge of that.
The Corpse Reviver cocktails were a series of strong concoctions made to snap you to life the morning after a bender. Creator, Harry Craddock would say that it was “To be taken before 11 a.m., or whenever steam and energy are needed.”
We wanted something classic, strong, and with a good story. Harry Craddock is legendary in the cocktail world after writing the bartender’s bible, ‘The Savoy Cocktail Book.” The Corpse Reviver No. 2 and its predecessor were a couple of his most popular. Plus, it was fun to play around with how we wanted to visually portray the drink.
Because surviving a bad hangover is like being resurrected from the dead. You don’t want to be there and no one wants you there.
The Corpse Reviver No. 2 gets a couple thumbs up from us. But she’s a stiff one.
